• Skilled Worker

Express Entry British Columbia (EEBC) candidates were invited under the following categories:

• Skilled Worker
• International Graduate

The number of invitations issued under each sub-category has not been announced by the British Columbia Govt.

Candidates who have a valid profile in the Federal Express Entry Pool can apply under the Express Entry British Columbia sub-category.

Candidates who get approved for a provincial nomination get an extra 600 points added to their CRS Score.

Candidates who get a provincial nomination under the Skills Immigration category can submit a PR application directly to IRCC. The Skills Immigration sub-category is not linked with the Federal Express Entry Program.

Overseas candidates who wish to apply for a BC provincial nomination should submit an EOI with the BC PNP. They need to do so through the SIRS (Skills Immigration Registration System).

The SIRS is a point-based system which is used by the BC PNP. Candidates are scored based on factors like education, work experience, language skills etc., as per CIC News.

Here are the results of the 23^rd July draw of the BC PNP:
