On February 19, 2020, British Columbia has officially removed guaranteed invitation scores for the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) that serves the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP). This provincial points-based system was launched in 2016. Previously, the province published these scores to demonstrate the minimum points required to be invited to apply. However, since BCPNP regularly publishes scores for each category, candidates can assess their chances based on current scores. The average processing times in the BCPNP is 2-3 months.
