VO Visas British Columbia invites 422 in latest PNP draws

B.C. has now issued over 9,000 invitations to apply for a provincial nomination since the start of the year.

British Columbia invited 422 immigration candidates in two Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws held on September 28, 2021.
Since February, British Columbia has been conducting two separate rounds of invitations twice a month as part of its PNP program. Due to a high number of people registered in the BC PNP Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) in certain occupations, B.C. has been holding an additional draw to balance the needs in all sectors of the provincial labour market.
Candidates from the Skills Immigration (SI) and Express Entry BC (EEBC) streams of the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) received invitations in the general draw.

More specifically, invitations were issued to those from the Skilled Worker, International Graduate as well as Entry Level and Semi-Skilled sub-categories of SI and EEBC streams.

The minimum scores for that draw ranged between 69 and 90 points. A total of 386 candidates were invited.

The separate draw was also conducted under SI and EEBC categories and targeted candidates whose occupation falls under NOC 0621 or NOC 0631. The draw resulted in 36 invitations with scores of 105.

So far this year, B.C. has issued a total of 9,083 invitations through various BC PNP streams.
