So far in 2021, B.C. has issued 3,893 invitations to apply for provincial nomination through its PNP.

British Columbia invited 362 immigration candidates in two Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws held April 27.

Today’s invitation rounds again saw B.C. conduct a general draw, and a second draw targeting retail and wholesale trade managers as well as restaurant and food service managers.

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 78 and 95 points. A total of 348 candidates were invited.

The separate draw for applicants whose occupation falls under NOC 0621 or NOC 0631, resulted in 14 invitations with scores of  113.
