British Columbia PNP Draws

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) draws are a key feature of BC’s immigration process, designed to invite skilled workers, international graduates, and entrepreneurs to apply for permanent residency. These draws are held regularly, typically every two weeks, and aim to address the province's labour market needs by selecting candidates who can contribute to its economy.

BC PNP draws operate under various categories, such as:

  • Skills Immigration
  • Express Entry BC
  • Entrepreneur Immigration

The Skills Immigration category targets workers with the skills and qualifications needed in BC, while Express Entry BC allows faster processing for candidates already registered in Canada’s Express Entry system. Entrepreneur Immigration focuses on those looking to invest and manage a business in the province.

Candidates in these categories are assessed based on a points system aka BC PNP points calculator, which considers factors like work experience, education, language proficiency, and occupation. The minimum score required for selection can vary from draw to draw, depending on the province’s labour demands and the number of applicants.

Once invited through a BC PNP draw, candidates must submit a complete application to the province. If their application is successful, they receive a provincial nomination, which significantly boosts their chances of obtaining Canadian permanent residency through the federal immigration system.

Currently, 80% of applications under the BC PNP are processed within 8-10 months.
