Dear future neighbour,
On July 9, the latest BC PNP draw issued over 66 invitations to apply for permanent residency. These invitations were sent out in both general and targeted rounds.
British Columbia has been holding these weekly draws consistently. There have been no interruptions in this regular schedule.
Since the start of its participation in immigration news, B.C. has maintained an unbroken streak of weekly draws. This consistent effort reflects the province’s commitment to its immigration program.
In a general draw, 35 invitations were issued, including those for 35 tech occupations. The cutoff score was unchanged from the previous BC PNP general draw on June 25.
Additionally, 12 invitations were sent to profiles with experience in 39 healthcare-related occupations. Furthermore, 10 invitations went to those with experience as early childhood educators’ assistants or instructors (NOC 42202).
9 applicants with experience in 25 construction-related occupations were also invited as part of British Columbia’s new category-based draw, introduced in late 2023.
