BC Provincial nominee advantages compared to other provinces

[BCguy]

Hi
Before I begin,I admit i am biased in favor of BC believing it the best place to live in Canada,Not make money in that case Alberta is the way to go.Real life I work for one of the MLA s and I get lots of people coming in asking for help in Immigration,so I figured why not help online about BC only
BC has a real labor shortage and the province has adopted a very liberal immigration policy compared to other provinces to encourage Immigration under BC PNP,For example even If every BC high school graduate did not leave the the province,We would still be short 350,000 workers.So We are the only province with Fast Food workers,janitors,drivers qualifying to become immigrants under PNP.We are one of the most ethnically diverse provinces .for example Vancouver is about 32% Chinese,10% south Asian,4% Filipino.We are proud that our current LG is Aboriginal,while We are the only province to have had a South Asian as Premier.So basically our Ministry of economic Development which handles our PNP is aggresively courting people to move here,Later these year we will be having job fairs in Korea,the Philippines and Germany to look for workers to move to BC.So to quote our Premier Gordon Campbell,You are welcome to the Best Place on Earth.Sorry ,If its a Bit over the top but I really love my Province

Good to hear the lovely things about BC.

Besides jobs like janitors, fast food workers, etc, what is the job market like in areas of banking and finance, IT, etc?

Also, I hear the weather is great there...

BC has a very strong IT and Gaming Development sector,For example Micro Soft set up here requiring 5,000 jobs and much of the software in Canada is done here,The creative types are attracted by the fact that you can be skiing one minute then be on the beach 30 minutes later.Thats why We became known as Hollywood North,Same reason.Banking and Finance is still back east though.Sorry cant get it all

BC is also renowned for the film industry, forestry, tourism and some natural resources.

BCguy, how does the BC PNP work for a finance/accounting guy?

BCguy,

for example Vancouver is about 32% Chinese,10% south Asian,4% Filipino.

That is 46% Asian and i don't call that well diversed. A well diversed BC should include relatively balanced representation of other continents of the world.

Hi
Financial analysts,Managers etc qualify,Its Clerical and Administrative types that are ineligibile along with retail sales,Salesman and Real estate brokers.look up the BC PNP website for the specific ineligible occupations

You are correct,But what its worth African is about 1% Latins are around 2-3%,Middle Eastern 1-2%,European Descent about 40% with English stock as the largest group,So its Diversed BUT NOT WELL DIVERSED City.Sorry

BCguy,
Can you refer us sites where we can apply for jobs in BC even if we are based abroad and have no papers yet? I am asking because I know that the BC PNP is employer initiative based, so one needs a job offer. How hard is it for someone with no papers yet to be able to get a job in BC? I personally am queued in the FSW. I have a sibiling who lives in BC with his family but BC has no family stream. I do not know if I stand a chance of getting a job in BC while still being based in the Philippines.

Thanks.

Hi Energy
I can refer you to several manpower agencies,but tell me a little bit of your background so I know where to refer you to.Cheers

Thanks BCguy!
Good to know IT jobs are there in BC.
I figured that Banking and Finance will be on the East coast. That just gives me a choice since I have degrees in both areas...

Well Accountants being NOC Classification A are eligibile for BC Provincial nomination and can bring their families in with them.The problem is finding the employer.You can google many job websites within BC for employers cheers

Hi Guy
I am from out of Canada & have applied as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer in FSW. for BC PNP I need a job. For my job they need ARDMS registeration. I can have this when I am in US or CANADA. I have been already refused a TRV inspite of a very good visa record having US, CANADIAN, BRITISH & IRISH visas. SO IT IS LIKE EGG FIRST OR CHIKEN FIRST.Can you help me getting a validated job offer from BC - I love stunning BC landscape.
