Immigrating to British Columbia in 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 BC PNP has two main categories:

Skilled Immigration

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