British Columbia PNP

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program is a pathway for highly-skilled workers who match the occupations that are currently in-demand in BC and who wish to live and work in the province.

The candidates who are awarded an ITA under PNP have 30 days to submit their application online. After this, the province notifies the candidate of their decision. 

If the candidate’s nomination is successful, they are eligible to apply to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency.
