How BC PNP works

BC PNP nominates foreign nationals who have the skills and experience needed to contribute to the economy of the BC province. The BC PNP has several categories under which candidates can apply, including the Skills Immigration category, the Express Entry BC category, and the International graduates category.

Periodically, the BC PNP conducts draws where it invites candidates who have applied to the program to apply for provincial nomination. The draw is conducted based on a points-based system, and candidates who score above a certain threshold are invited to apply for provincial nomination.

The specific details of the BC PNP draw, such as the score threshold and the number of invitations issued, can vary depending on the needs of the province and the specific category under which the draw is conducted.

How to Calculate BC PNP points

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) uses a points-based system to assess candidates in various categories. The points system is used to determine whether a candidate meets the eligibility requirements for the program and to rank candidates for selection in the draws conducted by the BC PNP.

Here are the key factors that the BC PNP uses to calculate points for candidates:

Skilled work experience: Candidates can earn points for their skilled work experience in the occupation that is in demand in BC. Points are awarded based on the number of years of experience.

Education: Candidates can earn points for their education level. The points are awarded based on the highest level of education achieved, with higher points awarded for higher levels of education.

Language ability: Candidates can earn points for their language ability in English or French. Points are awarded based on the candidate's proficiency level in each of the language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Job offer: Candidates with a job offer from a BC employer in an in-demand occupation can earn points. Points are awarded based on the wage offered and the type of job.

Adaptability: Candidates can earn points for their adaptability factors, which include factors such as having a close family member in BC, having studied in BC, or having work experience in Canada.

Once the points are calculated for each of these factors, the BC PNP will determine whether the candidate meets the minimum score threshold for the specific category and subcategory of the program. The score threshold can vary depending on the needs of the province and the specific category under which the draw is conducted.
