British Columbia invites candidates on a bi-weekly basis - who are registered in the pool to apply to the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP). The information provided in the Skills Immigration registrations by the candidates is used to rank the ones who are most likely to meet the economic and labour market needs in the province.

In 2024, targeted invitations under the BC PNP draws may be issued based on one or more of the following factors:

• Education - level and field of education and where it was completed
• Eligible professional designations in B.C
• Language skills
• Occupation
• Duration and skill level of work experience
• Wage and/or skill level of job offer
• Intent to live, work and settle in a specific region
• Strategic priorities - factors that address specific labour market needs in B.C. or support government pilot projects and initiatives

BC PNP invited a total of 10,061 candidates across 51 Skills Immigration invitation rounds in 2023. British Columbia conducted 4-5 draws almost every month in 2023. The same trend is expected to be carried on for 2024 as well.

How to get a nomination under BC PNP?
