British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)
The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program provides three options for becoming a permanent resident in British Columbia. Each pathway has different categories under which you can apply based on your National Occupational Classification skill level, job, or international student status.
Skilled and semi-skilled workers in high-demand occupations in British Columbia can apply for Skills Immigration. It employs a point-based invitation system. The procedure includes online registration and application for the BC PNP, as well as a paper application process for permanent residency.
Express Entry BC is a faster way for qualified skilled workers to immigrate to British Columbia. You must also meet the requirements for a federal economic immigration program. It employs a points-based invitation system and is entirely web-based for both the BC PNP and the permanent residency application process.
The Entrepreneur Immigration program is designed for experienced entrepreneurs who want to actively manage a business in British Columbia. It is an invitation system based on points. Applicants must possess the necessary personal and investment funds for this program.
