New Skills Immigration Draw

Recently on May 30, 2023, the Canadian province of British Columbia held a new Skills Immigration draw. This was the fifth draw of the month that invited a total of 196 invitations to apply (ITAs) to candidates in the BC PNP pool.

The number and frequency of Expressions of Interest (NOI) are based on British Columbia’s backlog of applications at the moment. With a few exceptions, BC PNP draws are typically held every week.

How to get Permanent Residency in British Columbia?

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) ranks and selects individuals from its pool of applications using a points-based system. The Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS), also known as the BC PNP points calculator works similarly to the CRS calculator

Several factors, including your education, work experience, language ability, age, and other eligibility requirements established by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, determine whether you can obtain permanent residence in British Columbia. To gain PR in British Columbia, you are also required to submit your Expression of Interest (EOI).
