IN NEW PNP DRAW, BRITISH COLUMBIA INVITES 160 PEOPLE.

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws held on February 22nd, 2022, resulted in the invitation of 160 immigrants from British Columbia.

The province held two draws under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), inviting candidates from the Skills Immigration (SI) and Express Entry BC (EEBC) streams.

Those from the SI and EEBC streams' Skilled Worker, International Graduate, Entry Level, and Semi-Skilled sub-categories received invitations. 

The majority of the 145 invitations were distributed via a general draw. Candidates who met the minimal score requirements of 77 to 125, depending on the program for which they are eligible, received invitations.

The office also solicited applicants with NOC 0621 (retail and wholesale trade managers) or 0631 (retail and wholesale trade managers) as their occupation (managers of restaurants and food services). There were 15 invitations in that draw, each with a minimum score of 125.

Since February 2021, British Columbia has held a new round of invites twice a month as part of their PNP programs. The province's Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) is conducting the draws due to the large number of candidates who have registered in specific labour market sectors.

The PNP in British Columbia

It aims to attract foreign workers who want to settle permanently in the province and are in high demand.

In the BC PNP, there are two main immigration streams: Skills Immigration and Express Entry, each of which has subcategories. These streams are managed by the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) in British Columbia. You must first create an account with the SIRS before you can apply. Following that, you'll be given a score based on factors such as your education, work experience, and language skills.

The top-scoring candidates from each sub-category are invited to apply for a provincial nomination to seek for permanent residency in Canada when British Columbia has one of its regular draws.

If you have received an invitation, you have 30 days from the date of the invitation to submit a complete application through the BC PNP online system.

You will be notified of the province's decision within two to three months of submitting a complete BC PNP application packet.

In the event your nomination is approved, you might be able to apply for permanent residency status under the Provincial Nominee Class with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). About six months are allowed after the date of confirmation for the nomination to be effective.

By becoming a provincial nominee under the CRS, you can earn an additional 600 points, which will allow you to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in a subsequent federal Express Entry draw.
