At the core of British Columbia’s economic strength lies the crucial role played by the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP). As one of the most coveted pathways for immigrants aspiring to relocate to Canada, the BC PNP significantly contributes to the province’s economic well-being.
Currently, the BC PNP manages two streams:
- British Columbia Skills Immigration
- British Columbia Entrepreneur Immigration
Candidates within these streams are evaluated and ranked using the BC PNP points calculator, which takes into account factors like age, education, work experience, language proficiency, adaptability, and spousal sponsorship. Those with the highest scores are extended Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residency through the BC PNP.
