British Columbia PNP Draw

British Columbia invited immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residence on October 14.

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) issued a total of 417  invitations through the Express Entry BC (EEBC) and Skills Immigration streams. Candidates were invited under the Skilled Worker and International Graduate subcategories, as well as the Entry Level and Semi-Skilled subcategory under the Skills Immigration stream.

The minimum required score for applicants varied between 75 and 94 across all categories. Some occupations were left out of this draw due to the coronavirus pandemic affecting regional businesses. These 31 occupations can be found on the B.C. government website.

B.C. holds draws through its various PNP categories and streams on a weekly basis. Two weeks ago, the province issued 450 provincial nomination invitations in its largest draw this year.
