Overview of British Columbia PNP Stream – How Does It Work?

British Columbia is the most popular province of destination for new immigrants. British Columbia is often considered the best province in Canada for its diverse economy, dominated largely by service industries. The country’s most western province, British Columbia is located in Vancouver. The province’s economy is dependent on a robust sector of mining and forestry-related natural resources.

In the past few weeks, invitations have been sent to candidates in the categories of Skilled Workers and International Graduates. This includes candidates who applied via Express Entry. The invitations also invited candidates from the skilled worker and International Graduate stream with a minimum SIRS score of 85. SIRS works similarly to the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), although it is only used for British Columbia’s Provincial Nominee Program.
