Dear future neighbour,
On September 4, the latest BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) draw issued approximately 158 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency. These ITAs were distributed across both general and targeted rounds of invitations.
This draw continues British Columbia’s efforts to attract skilled workers and professionals to the province. By issuing ITAs in both general and targeted categories, the BC PNP aims to address specific labor market needs while also maintaining a broader intake of skilled applicants for permanent residency.
