British Columbia invites 358 to apply for a provincial nomination

On November 10, 2020, another 358 invitations have been issued to immigration candidates by the province of British Columbia in Canada.

Those invited can now proceed to applying to the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program [BC PNP] for a provincial nomination.

Those successful in getting a nomination through Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program [PNP] can then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC] for Canadian permanent residence.

The previous BC PNP draw was held on November 3, 2020.

In the latest PNP draw by British Columbia, invitations were issued through the categories of Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC.

Express Entry candidates that are successful in securing a PNP nomination are allotted 600 CRS points. By CRS is implied the ranking system – the Comprehensive Ranking System – that determines as to which Express Entry candidates are issued invitations by IRCC.

Not all Express Entry candidates are invited by IRCC to apply for Canada PR.
