On the other hand, candidates who did not get invited will remain in the pool of candidates. They can expect to receive an invitation in the next BC PNP draw.
The next BC PNP draw is expected to be conducted on July 02, 2024.
In 2023, British Columbia invited over 10,000 candidates across Skills Immigration and Entrepreneur Immigration draws. The province conducted 4-5 draws every month - and the same trend is expected to be followed in 2024 as well.
The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) has two main categories:
To secure a nomination under BC PNP, you must first confirm your eligibility for the specific stream you're interested in, like skilled workers or entrepreneurs. Once confirmed, you'll need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) online, providing accurate details about your education, work experience, and language skills. If your EOI is selected, you'll receive an invitation to apply for nomination from BC PNP.
BC PNP draws are conducted every week, typically on a Wednesday. The streams to be targeted, minimum score, and number of invitations are not published beforehand.
Currently, 80% of applications under the BC PNP are processed within 12-15 months.
