British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program

If you want to immigrate to British Columbia, you have a few choices to consider:

• Skills Immigration Stream;
• Express Entry British Columbia Stream;
• Entrepreneur Immigration.

Step 1 Choose the stream that is best for you based on your circumstances. Check to see if you’re eligible for the program you’ve chosen.

Step 2 If necessary, use the SIRS system to register.

Step 3 BCPNP Online is the platform you should use to submit your application.

Step 4 Get a nomination from the province of British Columbia.

Step 5 Submit an application for permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Candidates must first register on BCPNP Online using the SIRS system. You are not required to register for the SIRS if you are applying through the International Post-Graduate Category or the Healthcare Professional Category, and you can apply directly on BCPNP Online.

After that, you’ll receive a registration score and be added to the pool. You will be invited to apply for provincial nomination if you match particular criteria and have a score above a certain level. After then, you’ll have 30 days to apply for BCPNP Online.

If you succeed, you will get a provincial nomination, after which you can apply to the Canadian federal government for permanent residency.

You will have the opportunity to accept a provincial nomination if you applied using the Express Entry procedure.

Entry-level and semi-skilled workers, skilled workers, foreign graduates, foreign post-graduates, and healthcare experts are all eligible for the BC PNP.

To immigrate to British Columbia, you do not need to have an Express Entry profile. Unless you are applying as an international post-graduate, you will normally require a job offer to be eligible to immigrate. To do so, you must have earned a Master’s or PhD in a natural, applied, or health sciences program from an accredited university in British Columbia.

To begin, you must determine which immigration stream and category you qualify for. After that, you must register with the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) so that British Columbia can compare your employment, education, location in the province, language skills, and salary to the provincial labor market needs.

You can register with BCPNP Online by completing all of the parts of the registration form.

There is no need for you to register with the SIRS if you are applying for the International Post-Graduate Category or the Healthcare Professional Category, and you can apply directly through BCPNP Online.

After that, you’ll receive a registration score based on a variety of characteristics, and you’ll be placed in a pool of candidates for the chosen category. Those who match particular criteria and have a score over a certain level are asked to participate in a provincial draw to apply for a provincial nomination.

Candidates will have 30 days to apply through BCPNP Online after that.

If you are chosen, you will be nominated by a province using the Express Entry system. The nomination must be accepted using the Express Entry method.

If you are given a provincial nomination, you will be able to apply to the Canadian government for permanent residency.

An extra 600 Comprehensive Ranking Procedure (CRS) points are provided if you earn a provincial nomination through the Express Entry system. This will ensure that you will be granted permission to apply for permanent residency.

Obtaining a provincial nomination puts you in a strong position when applying for permanent residency with the Immigration and Refugee Council of Canada (IRCC).

IRCC will examine your application and ensure that you pass an admissibility test before deciding whether or not to grant you permanent residence.
