On February 8, British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program has issued invitations for 198 candidates under PNP draws.
British Columbia PNP is a pathway for high-demand foreign workers and experienced entrepreneurs to get permanent residency in British Columbia.
It offers three pathways to become its PR having different categories to apply under like job, skill level, or international student status. Candidates can choose any of the 29 occupations prescribed by the Canadian government.
Candidates are invited through two draws & must meet the eligibility criteria of one of British Columbia’s Express Entry. Also, the candidates should come under Skilled Worker and International Graduate subcategories.
The majority of the invitations, 188 were sent through a general draw. The candidates should have a minimum score requirement between 77 and 120 depending on the program for which they are eligible.
Another draw targeted the candidates whose occupation falls under the following NOC’s.
NOC 0621 (Retail and Wholesale Trade Managers)
NOC 0631 (Restaurant and Foodservice Managers).
The draw offers 10 invitations with a minimum score of 120.
It is one of the faster ways to immigrate to British Columbia for those eligible skilled workers who qualify for the federal economic immigration program. The program uses points-based invitations and a web-based registration & application process.
