Dear future neighbour,

The latest British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) draw took place on December 10, 2024. During this round, a total of 26 invitations were extended to candidates under the Skilled Worker and Entry Level & Semi-Skilled streams.

These invitations were issued to Skilled Workers who met the minimum required score of 80, offering them an opportunity to apply for provincial nomination.

Stream Minimum Score Required Number of invitations issued
Skilled Worker 148 6 – General draw
Skilled Worker – EEBC option 148
Entry Level and Semi-Skilled 121
Skilled Worker (includes EEBC option) 101 <5 – Childcare
112 <5 – Construction
121 <5 – Healthcare

To obtain a nomination through the BC PNP, the first step is to verify your eligibility for the specific stream you’re aiming for, such as skilled workers or entrepreneurs. This process involves ensuring that you meet the criteria set for your chosen category.

After confirming your eligibility, the next step is to submit an online Expression of Interest (EOI). In your EOI, you will be required to provide detailed and accurate information about your education, work experience, and language proficiency.

Once your EOI is submitted, it will be reviewed, and if you meet the necessary requirements, you may be invited to apply for a nomination.
