Dear future neighbour,
On September 10, 2024, British Columbia conducted its latest Provincial Nominee Program draw, issuing approximately 151 invitations to apply for permanent residency to candidates across various categories. The draw focused on skilled workers, international graduates, and entry-level and semi-skilled candidates.
The invitations targeted individuals in priority occupations, such as tech, healthcare, and childcare, to help address key labor shortages in the province.
This draw continues British Columbia’s efforts to attract skilled professionals and support economic growth by meeting labor market demands across key sectors.
