Latest PNP results announced by British Columbia

In the latest draw on July 14, 2020, British Columbia has invited 320 immigration candidates through 5 streams under the categories of Skills Immigration [SI] and Express Entry BC [EEBC].

The previous BC PNP draw, a Tech Pilot draw, was held on July 7, 2020.

EEBC is one among the around 80 immigration pathways that come under Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program [PNP]. The EEBC category – as the name suggests – is aligned with the federal Express Entry system.

Those invited in the latest British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program [BC PNP] draw can now apply to the BC PNP for a provincial nomination.

On securing a nomination, 600 additional points will be added to their Comprehensive Ranking System [CRS] scores. With the added boost, it is almost a guarantee that they will be issued an Invitation to Apply [ITA] in the subsequent federal Express Entry draw to be held.

Overview of the July 14, 2020, BC PNP draw – Total 320 invitations sent:

Category	Minimum Expression of Interest [EOI] Score
EEBC – Skilled Worker	98
EEBC – International Graduate	98
SI – Skilled Worker	98
SI – International Graduate	98
SI – Entry Level and Semi-Skilled	76

Canada immigration candidates that are interested in applying through the BC PNP’s Skills Immigration [SI] category are required to get themselves registered with the province’s Skills Immigration Registration System [SIRS].

Those interested in applying through the Express Entry BC [EEBC] pathway must have a federal Express Entry profile along with registration with the SIRS.
