All applicants are then evaluated and are given a score that in turn determines whether they should be invited and be given a nomination letter in the subsequent invitation round. The total score achieved is based on the range of human capital factors that include education level, employment experience and having a job offer letter from the province.

If the candidate gets approved, they can then through their provincial nomination letter to apply towards the permanent residence with the IRCC under the provincial nominee program.

Express Entrycandidates who also received a nomination from the provincial government of British Columbia are awarded with additional 600 points towards their existingComprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scoreof the Express Entry application and are guaranteed with an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the next Federal Express Entry Draw.

The BC PNP Tech Pilot draw was launched in the year 2017 and has been extended various times since then and also recently until June 21. The BC provincial nominee program Tech Pilot draw can be described as the most reliable and fast-track immigration route for all the in-demand tech professionals and also international students.

Applicants who received an Invitation to Apply for the provincial nomination would be having only 30 days time to submit their completed application further consideration.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Providing pathways to Canada immigration

Yes! If the federal Express Entry is not working out due to the current pandemic situation or some specific factor then you can explore other immigration options for migrating to Canada. There are a plenty of other ways to make it happen and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is one of the most prominent pathways among these alternatives to move to Canada.

You should be aware that some of the provincial nominations result in an addition of 600-points towards your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of the Express Entry System but some of these PNP streams does not work in direct alignment with the larger Express Entry System.
