The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) held a targeted draw on October 24, 2023, issuing more than 157 invitations to apply for permanent residency (PR) to candidates in tech, healthcare, and childcare.
The cutoff score for all categories remains unchanged compared to the last targeted round of invitations.
Processing timeframes, based on 80% of cases, commence when the BC PNP receives a complete application post-draw.
The upcoming BC PNP Draw is scheduled for November 1, 2023, featuring both general and targeted draws. The targeted draws will focus on 35 tech occupations, Early Childhood Educators, 39 Healthcare occupations, and other priority occupations (NOCs 31103 and 32104).
BC PNP Draws are conducted consistently every week on Tuesday/Wednesday, alternating between general draws and tech/healthcare targeted draws. Stay tuned for the latest updates and opportunities in the BC PNP program.
