British Columbia Invites 81 workers under new PNP Draw

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program has invited over 81 workers through tech pilot draw.  The Express Entry British Columbia and Skilled Immigration streams allow candidates with valid profiles to get the job opportunities along with a Canadian PR Visa.  Candidates were invited under the Skilled Worker, and International Graduate subcategories through the BC PNP Tech Pilot. The prerequisites of a candidate who wants to get into Canada under this program and receive the nomination are,

  1. A job offer of an eligible tech occupation
  2. Minimum score of 80 in all categories
The BC PNP is one of Canada’s PNPs. Through these programs, provinces can nominate newcomers who can settle into the local labour market. British Columbia launched the Tech Pilot in 2017 in response to strong growth in the technology sector and the influx of international talent leaving U.S. technology centers such as Silicon Valley. This phenomenon has been attributed, in part, to the stringent immigration and economic policies of the Trump Era. This province of canada is famous for its innovation and tech expertising jobs along with other work opportunities. With 5 draws since January 2021, British Columbia is welcoming immigrants with open arms. The Immigration Level Plan is the most important immigration announcement made by the Government of Canada each year. It outlines the number of new permanent residents Canada aims to welcome over the coming years, and what categories Canada aims to admit them under. Canada welcomes immigrants under the following categories: economic; family; refugee; and humanitarian and compassionate grounds.  Canada announced its 2021-2023 Immigration Levels Plan. Canada will target the highest level of immigration in its history. Over the coming three years, Canada will aim to welcome the following level of new permanent residents:
  • 2021: 401,000 immigrants
  • 2022: 411,000 immigrants
  • 2023: 421,000 immigrants
Canada is planning to send  the highest-immigration invites to the globe this year.  For more such information, stay tuned.
