BC PNP Invites Immigrants In General And Targeted Draws

On April 5, 2022, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) held its weekly round of invites. The province held two draws, one for Skills Immigration (SI) and the other for Express Entry BC (EEBC). Invitations were issued to the Skilled Worker, International Graduate, Entry Level, and Semi-Skilled subcategories of the SIM and EEBC streams.

In the general draw, 131 BC immigration candidates were invited to file for a provincial nomination, which included a tech occupation. While 43 invites were shared for targeted NOC for Childcare: Early childhood educators and assistants (NOC 4214), another 14 invites were shared for Healthcare professionals, and less than 5 invites were shared for Health care assistants (NOC 3413) and Other priority occupations (NOCs 3114, 3213).

The majority of the invitations were sent through a general draw. Invitations were issued to candidates who achieved scores between 77 and 125, depending on the program for which they were eligible. Candidates in targeted occupations were required to reach 70 points.

British Columbia has conducted a separate round of invites twice a month for these two occupations during the pandemic. Because of the large number of candidates from specific labour market sectors who have registered in the province's Skills Immigration Registration System, these separate drawings are being held (SIRS).

The British Provincial Candidate Program was established in order to attract professionals from all over the world. The BC PNP has two well-known streams: skilled immigration and Express Entry.

The BC PNP has a well-defined pattern. To get started, you'll need to create an account and fill out all of the required information. Calculate the focus by considering a variety of characteristics like age, work experience, teaching ability, and so on.
