The British Columbia PNP is one of the provincial nominee programs of Canada. Through these programs, the provincial governments can nominate the new professionals who have the potential and eligibility to settle in the province and contribute towards their local economy.
British Columbia is known for attracting professionals with innovative ideas and tech expertise, and its controlled and mild climatic conditions and also proximity with the US are also one of the important factors in attracting businesses and workers in the province.
Express Entry is one of the main pathway through which Canada managed skilled and professional workers applications. There are considerable possibilities to skip the PNP immigration route and receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the permanent residence of Canada directly by applying for the same, directly from the Express Entry. However, if an applicant receives a provincial nomination then it effectively provides a guarantee that the Federal Government of Canada or the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will send you the required invitation to apply for the permanent residency of Canada.
Express Entrycan be described as an application management system which operates and manages three Federal Immigration Stream. When a candidate submits their Expression of Interest, and then then are ranked on the basis of theComprehensive Ranking System (CRS)which takes into consideration factors such as age, employment experience, education and also language proficiency skills.

You also receive an additional 600 CRS points after being nominated by a province, such as British Columbia. This additional award of points is high enough to enable you to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the subsequent Express Entry Draw.
