Provincial nominee programs let you move to the province of your choice and get a Canadian permanent residency. BC PNP is the provincial nominee program offered by British Columbia. You can immigrate to British Columbia as a skilled worker through:

• BC PNP Skills Immigration Stream
• Express Entry BC (EEBC Streams)

British Columbia offers unique immigration programs to attract skilled workers from across the world. These programs generally fall under the BC PNP Skills Immigration Category.

• BC PNP Tech
• Skilled Worker
• Health Authority
• Entry Level and Semi-Skilled (ELSS)
• International Graduate
• International Post-Graduate

The IRCC’s Express Entry pool is periodically searched by the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) to seek applicants who could be eligible for one of the province’s Express Entry BC Streams. To support government programmes, address labour market gaps, and boost the province’s economy, the province routinely selects and welcomes foreign employees, students, and entrepreneurs through this programme.

All candidates who intend to immigrate to Canada must enroll in the province’s stream to maximize their chances of being selected by the province. By acquiring a Letter of Nomination from a province, candidates with Express Entry profiles can increase their CRS score by 600 points. Those attempting to get permanent residence (PR) status often benefit from having a high CRS score.
