How to apply?

Managed under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), Skills Immigration draws were established to target foreign skilled workers and graduates - that can help support & sustain BC’s labour market needs and economy.

Before you start the process, carefully review the information about the Skills Immigration streams - to find the one that best matches your situation. There are currently five streams.

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

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. With a nomination, you can continue applying for permanent residency.

Currently, 80% of applications under the BC PNP are processed within 12-15 months.
