British Columbia Prioritizes Healthcare Professionals for 2025 Immigration Nominations

Dear future neighbour,

In a strategic move to manage a reduced immigration quota, the province of British Columbia (B.C.) has prioritized healthcare professionals for the majority of its 2025 immigration nominations under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

Announced on April 14, the BC PNP introduced sweeping updates, including a significant cut in the number of new applications it will accept — just 1,100 for the entire year. While a limited portion of these will go to entrepreneurs and individuals contributing substantially to the province’s economy, most nominations are being directed towards healthcare-related roles.

To qualify under the Health Authority stream, candidates are now required to be employed in one of the following professions:

Occupation	NOC Code
Animal health technologists and veterinary technicians	32104
Audiologists and speech-language pathologists	31112
Cardiology technologists and electrophysiological diagnostic technologists	32123

Key Requirements for Healthcare Applicants

To be eligible through the updated Health Authority stream, applicants must hold a permanent, full-time job offer from one of the province’s recognized public health authorities. Additionally, the eligibility standards for this pathway have been revised to focus strictly on roles that directly support healthcare delivery.

Eligible health employers now include:

Provincial Health Services Authority
First Nations Health Authority
Fraser Health
Interior Health
Island Health
Northern Health
Vancouver Coastal Health
Providence Health Care

Each of these organizations follows its own internal procedure to approve and support BC PNP applications.

Can Independent Healthcare Providers Qualify?

Yes — healthcare practitioners such as doctors, nurse practitioners, and midwives who operate independently may still be eligible. To qualify, they must receive formal support from either a B.C. public health authority or a licensed midwifery practice and demonstrate intent to practice in the province.

These applicants are expected to submit:

A recommendation letter
Proof of their credentials
Confirmation of current or future employment
A statement of support from the associated health authority or midwifery practice

Foreign healthcare professionals who meet all criteria can apply directly to the BC PNP under this stream.

Who Else Is Being Considered in 2025?

Beyond healthcare workers, B.C. plans to allocate a portion of its limited nominations to entrepreneurs and other applicants deemed to have a high economic impact. While specific criteria for this group have not been fully defined, it is expected to include individuals with high-demand skills, competitive salaries, and significant contributions to the provincial economy. Around 100 spots have been set aside for this category.

Since April 14, only those actively involved in healthcare provision — not administrative or support staff — are eligible under the Health Authority stream. This marks a clear shift from previous criteria, which were more inclusive of a broader range of roles within public health institutions.

Entrepreneurial candidates will continue to receive Invitations to Apply (ITAs) throughout the year, although the province has not disclosed the number of ITAs designated for this group.

Why the Change?

The B.C. government’s decision to narrow its focus comes in response to a sharp reduction in federal nomination allocations. The province received only 4,000 spots for 2025 — a dramatic 50% decrease from the prior year — while facing a backlog of over 5,000 applications at the start of the year.

To navigate these constraints, the province has paused intake for certain streams and is now concentrating on processing existing applications while limiting new ones to 1,100 in 2025.

Manitoba Issues 27 Invitations in Latest Draw Under Strategic Recruitment Initiative

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

On April 17, 2025, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) held a new Expression of Interest (EOI) draw under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream, issuing 27 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) to eligible candidates. The minimum EOI score required for this invitation round was 621.

Importantly, only candidates who were invited directly by the MPNP under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative were considered in this draw.

See below details of this draw:

Draw Date: April 17, 2025
Stream: Skilled Worker Overseas
Number of LAAs Issued: 27
Minimum EOI Score: 621
Eligibility Criteria: Candidates invited directly by MPNP under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative

This draw reflects Manitoba’s ongoing efforts to attract skilled workers from abroad who can contribute to the province’s labor market and economic growth. Candidates invited in this draw demonstrated strong potential to integrate into Manitoba’s workforce and communities.

What is a Strategic Recruitment Initiative?

Strategic Recruitment Initiatives are special outreach programs conducted by MPNP in partnership with employers or through targeted recruitment missions. Candidates selected under these initiatives typically have strong ties to Manitoba or have been identified as filling high-demand occupations in the province.

This pathway allows the province to directly engage with potential immigrants who align with Manitoba’s current economic and demographic needs, ensuring a more effective immigration strategy.

To be eligible for consideration under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative, candidates must meet the following criteria:

Be between the ages of 21 and 45, unless a specific exception is made by the employer.
Have completed post-secondary education as required by the employer and the occupation. In certain pilot programs, on-the-job training may be accepted as a substitute.
Possess at least two years of full-time work experience in the past five years in an occupation related to the job being offered.
Demonstrate adequate language proficiency according to the skill level of the occupation:
- For jobs in TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 occupations: A minimum language proficiency of CLB 5 in all language abilities (English or French) is required.
- For jobs in TEER 4 or 5 occupations: A minimum language proficiency of CLB 4 in all language abilities is required.
All candidates must score a minimum of 60 points on the MPNP’s assessment grid, which is based on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language skills.

Priority is given to candidates who are willing to settle outside the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region.

Also applicants who have significant connections to other provinces such as previous employment or education outside Manitoba may be considered less likely to remain in the province and could face a higher risk of refusal.

Understanding the Skilled Worker Overseas Stream

The Skilled Worker Overseas stream is designed for individuals who have skills and training in Manitoba’s in-demand occupations. Candidates are assessed based on factors such as work experience, education, language proficiency, and their connection to Manitoba, including close family ties, previous education or work experience in the province, or an invitation under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative.

Recent MPNP Draws Overview

In 2025, Manitoba has continued to issue LAAs through various streams to meet its labor market needs. For instance, on February 20, 2025, the province issued 41 LAAs, with 22 invitations extended under a strategic recruitment initiative in the Skilled Worker Overseas stream, requiring a minimum score of 711.

Manitoba’s consistent draws highlight the province’s commitment to attracting skilled immigrants who can contribute to its economic development.

Alberta Issues New Invitations Through Targeted Immigration Pathways

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) has recently invited 165 candidates through four of its targeted streams aimed at addressing labour shortages in key sectors of the province’s economy.

Overview of AAIP Draws (April 11–22)

Between April 11 and 22, the AAIP conducted several draws across different immigration pathways, each featuring unique cut-off scores and numbers of invitations issued.

Draw date	Worker stream / pathway	Minimum score of invited candidates	Number of invitations issued
22 April, 2025	Alberta Express Entry Stream – Accelerated Tech Pathway	71	22
17 April, 2025	Alberta Express Entry Stream – Law Enforcement Pathway	49	2
15 April, 2025	Tourism and Hospitality Stream	73	33
11 April, 2025	Alberta Opportunity Stream	77	108

Among the notable selections, this round includes the first draw of the year for the Tourism and Hospitality stream, and only the second for the Accelerated Tech and Law Enforcement pathways in 2025. The April 11 draw also marked the first general selection this year under the Alberta Opportunity Stream, which had previously focused on fields such as aviation and construction.

To apply through AAIP or other Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), candidates must first submit an EOI. If selected, they receive an invitation to apply for a provincial nomination. Upon approval, nominees in base streams can apply for permanent residence through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Those in enhanced streams aligned with Express Entry receive 600 additional CRS points, significantly improving their chances of receiving an invitation for permanent residency in future federal draws.

New BC PNP Draw Targets Entrepreneurs

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) conducted its most recent draw on April 15, 2025, issuing invitations to 5 entrepreneurs under the Entrepreneur Immigration Base stream. Applicants required a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 115 to be considered.

See below details of latest BC PNP draw:

Draw Date: April 15, 2025
Category: Entrepreneur Immigration – Base
Number of Invitations: 5
Minimum CRS Score: 115

This draw is part of BC’s strategic focus on attracting skilled individuals who can deliver both immediate value and long-term economic impact to the province. The province is managing over 5,200 pending applications and more than 10,000 individuals registered in the system, making each nomination highly competitive.

Changes in BC PNP for 2025:

Reduced Nomination Quota: The federal nomination cap has been reduced to 4,000 spots, down from 8,000 in 2024. This means only top-tier candidates aligned with provincial needs will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
Temporary Closure of International Post-Graduate (IPG) Stream: Applications submitted before September 1, 2024, will be processed in 2025. Applications between September 1, 2024, and January 7, 2025, are waitlisted. New IPG applications are currently paused due to overwhelming demand.

Priority Immigration Streams for 2025:

Healthcare Immigration Stream: Focused on attracting doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals to address critical labor shortages in the healthcare sector.
Entrepreneur Stream: Encourages entrepreneurs who can launch or scale businesses, create jobs, and promote regional innovation.

British Columbia Announces Major Changes to Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

On April 14, 2025, British Columbia announced substantial changes to its Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) that will significantly restrict new immigration opportunities in 2025. The province is narrowing its focus to target only high-impact individuals and critical labor needs, citing a reduced federal nomination allocation and a large backlog of applications.

Drastic Reduction in New Applications

For 2025, British Columbia will accept just 1,100 new BC PNP applications, a dramatic cut compared to previous years. The limited number of new applications will be reserved for front-line healthcare workers, entrepreneurs, and skilled workers who can demonstrate a high economic impact. This move reflects the province’s shift toward prioritizing quality over quantity in its selection process.

Suspension on Most Draws

The province has also placed a halt on general and priority occupation draws for the entirety of 2025. Instead, BC will select only around 100 high-impact candidates from its registration pool, which currently contains more than 10,000 individuals. This means most candidates in the pool will not receive an invitation to apply this year.

Changes to Student and Graduate Pathways

B.C. is delaying the launch of its three newly designed student immigration streams, stating that these programs will remain on hold until nomination allocation levels return to previous levels.

In the interim, the International Post-Graduate (IPG) stream will also be partially paused. Applications submitted between September 1, 2024, and January 7, 2025, will not be processed immediately but instead placed on a waitlist. Applications submitted before or after this window will still be reviewed and processed in 2025.

Targeted Stream Adjustments

The province is tightening eligibility under several existing streams:

The Health Authority stream will now be limited exclusively to front-line healthcare workers, whereas previously it was open to a wider range of health-related occupations.
Early Childhood Educator Assistants will no longer qualify under targeted education draws. Future draws in this category will now be focused solely on Early Childhood Educators.

Entrepreneur Stream Remains Active

Despite the restrictive changes across most streams, BC will continue issuing invitations under its Entrepreneur Immigration stream. This is in line with the province’s goal to attract individuals who can make a substantial economic contribution.

Inventory vs. Allocation Pressure

The decision to scale back is partially driven by operational pressure. The province began 2025 with an inventory of 5,200 applications—already exceeding the total federal nomination allocation of 4,000 for the year. Of those 4,000 nominations, BC plans to allocate 2,900 to applicants already in the system, leaving only a small number of spots available for new candidates.

Prince Edward Island invites 124 candidates for PR in latest PEI PNP Draw

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

On March 20, 2025, Prince Edward Island (PEI) conducted its most recent Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw, inviting 124 candidates to apply for permanent residency. The draw targeted individuals under the Labour Impact and Express Entry streams, focusing on candidates who have established ties to the province through work experience.

Focus on Key Sectors for Economic Growth

PEI’s provincial immigration strategy continues to emphasize the importance of addressing labor shortages in critical sectors. The most recent draw was specifically aimed at individuals working in industries such as healthcare, skilled trades, and manufacturing—sectors identified as essential to the province’s economic development.

Healthcare: The need for healthcare professionals remains high in PEI, and candidates with experience in this field are encouraged to apply.
Skilled Trades: The province also seeks skilled tradespeople who can contribute to various infrastructure and construction projects.
Manufacturing: Workers in the manufacturing sector are also in demand to support the province’s growing economy.

Eligibility Criteria for the PEI PNP

To be eligible for the PEI PNP under the Labour Impact and Express Entry streams, candidates must meet several criteria. These generally include:

Work Experience: Applicants need to have at least one year of work experience in PEI within the past five years.
Job Offer: A full-time, permanent job offer from a PEI employer is a key requirement.
Education: A minimum of 14 years of formal education, which typically includes post-secondary qualifications, is required.
Age: Candidates aged between 21 and 55 are given preference.
Language Skills: Proficiency in either English or French is necessary for effective communication in the workplace.
Settlement Funds: Applicants must have enough financial resources to support themselves and their family upon settling in PEI.
Intention to Reside: Candidates must show a genuine intention to live and work in the province.

It is important to note that eligibility criteria can differ depending on the specific stream under which an applicant applies.

The Application Process

The first step in the application process is to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the Government of PEI’s online portal. While submitting an EOI does not guarantee an invitation, it is the first step in being considered for the program.

From the pool of EOIs, candidates who meet the province’s needs are selected to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for provincial nomination. Once nominated, candidates can proceed with applying for permanent residence through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

British Columbia invites 8 Candidates for PR in latest BC PNP Draw

By EUIC Admin Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

On March 18, 2025, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) conducted a draw under its Entrepreneur Immigration category, issuing a total of 8 Invitations to Apply (ITAs).

The draw targeted foreign entrepreneurs under two streams:

Base Stream: 8 ITAs were issued to candidates with a minimum score of 115.
Regional Stream: Fewer than 5 ITAs were issued to candidates with a minimum score of 123.

Draw Category	Number of invitations issued	Cut-off score
Base stream	8	115
Regional stream	<5	123

The Regional Stream specifically focuses on entrepreneurs referred by participating communities in British Columbia, aiming to promote economic development in various regions of the province.

It’s important to note that for 2025, the BC PNP has significantly reduced its provincial nomination quota by 50% compared to the previous year. In total, there are now only 4,000 nominations available, which may lead to fewer and smaller draws in the future.
