The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) is designed to attract and retain skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and graduates who can contribute to the province’s economy. Administered jointly by the Province of British Columbia and the Government of Canada, BC PNP offers several streams tailored to meet specific labor market needs.

Applicants interested in immigrating to British Columbia through BC PNP must first create a profile and submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). Candidates are then assessed based on factors such as education, work experience, and language proficiency. Those with the highest scores in each category are invited to apply for provincial nomination.

Once nominated by British Columbia, candidates can apply for permanent residence with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The BC PNP is instrumental in addressing regional economic disparities within the province and ensuring that skilled workers and graduates can find opportunities that match their qualifications and experience.
