the CanadaVisa Team - 23 August, 2018
The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program invited 323 candidates under Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC streams in the latest draw, which took place August 22.
Candidates who receive a nomination under the Express Entry BC Skilled Worker and International Graduate categories will receive an additional 600 points toward their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.
Candidates invited to apply for a British Columbia provincial nomination under the BC PNP Skills Immigration Stream categories have their applications for Canadian permanent residence processed with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) outside the federal Express Entry selection system.
In most cases, candidates applying for immigration under the BC PNP require an indeterminate, full-time job offer from an employer in the British Columbia.
Individuals interested in applying for immigration to Canada under the Skills Immigration Stream must first create an online profile using the BC PNP's online system and submit a complete registration form. Applicant profiles are then assessed and assigned a score based on various factors, such as education, work experience and other factors.
