On August 16, the BC PNP held a draw for general, technical, and targeted NOC.

General draw, including tech jobs: 177 British Columbia sent out new invitations to potential nominees on August 16, 2022. In one of its most recent drawings, BC requested 177 applicants in a general draw that also included IT professionals for a provincial nomination.

On August 16, those who met the requirements for the British Columbia Nominee Program's five Express Entry and Skills Immigration streams were invited to the draw.

1. SI – Skilled Worker
2. SI – International Graduate
3. SI – Entry Level and Semi-Skilled
4. EEBC – International Graduate
5. EEBC Skilled Worker

The British Columbia Skills Immigration Stream is a collection of immigration paths offered by the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP).

For labourers and graduates who want to live in the region, British Columbia's candidate streams offer a method for getting permanent residence in Canada. A substantial proposition for employment from a BC organization is expected for most BCPNP Skills Immigration programs.

Again, British Columbia held a different draw with a 60-point cut-off for up-and-comers having mastery specifically NOC codes. BC designed these draws to strike a balance between the demands of the province's diverse businesses on the labour market. As the labour market changes, draw needs may also change.

Targeted BC PNP draw: Less Than 51

This draw invited candidates with experience in occupational codes 3114 (Veterinarians) and 3213 (Animal health technologists and veterinary technicians), 4214 (Early childhood educators and assistants), Healthcare, Healthcare: Health care assistants (NOC 3413).

Concerning the BC PNP

The BC PNP's objective is to recruit highly sought-after foreign workers who desire to immigrate to Canada as permanent residents.

The two main sub-streams of the BC PNP's immigration program are Express Entry and Skills Immigration. These streams are governed by the BC Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS). To apply via the SIRS, you must first create an account. Following that, you will receive a score based on your education, work experience, and language ability.

The best candidates from each subcategory are then urged to apply for a provincial nomination to seek permanent status when British Columbia has one of its routine draws.

If you were invited, you have 30 days from the invitation date to submit a complete application using the BC PNP online system.

After completing a thorough BC PNP application file, you will typically hear from the province within two to three months. If your nomination is approved, you can submit an application to Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent resident status under the Provincial Nominee Class.

The nomination is valid for around six months after confirmation.

If you are a provincial applicant and have a score high enough to be invited to apply (ITA) in a future federal Express Entry draw, you may be qualified for an extra 600 points under the CRS.
