Low point’s thresholds have been noticed in immigration draws held by the Government of British Columbia consistently. Many workers, entrepreneurs, and graduates received ITAs for a provincial nomination for the BC PNP after two draws were conducted on September 27th and October 4th.  377 invitations were issued over this period, which included applicants in the Tech Pilot program.  BC PNP categories are overseen through Skills Immigration Registration System.

 

For applying in this eligible candidates must open an account, and they are given a score which is based on credentials covering economic and human factors. High scoring candidates are invited after conducting a draw. These categories require candidates to have a job offer from an employer based in the province. 

 

Candidates who are invited through Express Entry Aligned Sub Category can apply now and get an enhanced PNP Nomination Certificate. When the nomination succeeds applicants receive 600 additional points under the CRS   and an ITA in the future draw in the Express Entry pool. ITA under the Provincial PNP is dissimilar from the ITA issued in the federal Express Entry. The invitees will see their PR applications processed outside Express Entry after they receive a nomination from BC. Eligible individuals interested in applying for immigration to Canada in a few categories of provincial PNP must enter into the SIRS pool. Here they are given points based on their status, education received, work experience gained, and some other factors.
