BC PNP | Canada Provincial Nominee Program

As we know, the Provincial Nominee Program differs slightly by where you reside in Canada. In the beautiful province of British Columbia, economic growth depends on having enough skills and qualified people to meet their labour market needs.

The Canada Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) is a great way for foreign workers to gain permanent residency while also contributing to the growth of the province.

The application for PNP in BC is straight forward. In 6 simple steps, you can go from wanting to immigrate to Canada, to obtaining Canadian permanent residency.

Let’s start with eligibility. You can apply for the provincial nominee program if…

  • You have a job offer from a B.C. employer

  • You have a minimum of two years’ work experience

  • You meet BC PNP minimum income requirements

  • You pass your language proficiency test

Once accepting a job offer from a validated BC employer, you can submit a FREE registration to the provincial nominee program in BC. After your registration is complete, you will receive your registration score and be entered into a selection pool for a maximum of 12 months from the date of submission.

If your registration is approved, you will be invited to apply for the Canada Provincial Nominee Program in BC. This is where you pay your application fee and submit your complete application online so it can be reviewed.
