  • March 2, 2022

In a new tech draw, British Columbia invited 136 killed workers and international graduates to apply for a provincial nomination on March 1. The invitations were distributed through the BC PNP Tech, a stream under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program.

Candidates invited through B.C’s Tech draws must meet the requirements of one of British Columbia’s Express Entry BC and Skills immigration categories, which are managed through the Skills and Immigration Registration System (SIRS).

Minimum scores were 80 for all four streams. The featured streams were:

  • SI – Skilled Worker
  • SI – International Graduate
  • EEBC – Skilled Worker
  • EEBC – International Graduate

Invited candidates now have 30 calendar days to apply for the nomination.

The candidates for this immigration program must have a valid job offer of at least 12 months. The occupations that qualify include people working in the 29 eligible fields that are outlined by the Tech Pilot.

BC PNP is a program that allows BC to attract high-demand workers, giving them an opportunity for citizenship. A foreign worker who lives and works in BC can attain permanent residence with this program.
