About BC PNP Tech
Following labor market research that revealed that the main challenge confronting BC’s tech industry was exposure to talent, the BC PNP Tech was introduced in May 2017 as a pilot experiment. Due to the project’s effectiveness, BC made it a long-term initiative. When skilled personnel isn’t readily available locally, it’s intended to help firms in British Columbia’s technology sector continue to recruit and choose overseas talent.
For in-demand computer professionals and overseas students, the BC PNP Tech is a fast-track immigration programmed. To be eligible for the stream, applicants must be registered in one of the 29 qualifying occupations and hold a valid job offer that is valid for at least 12 months.
Unlike the other BC PNP streams, the BC PNP Tech requires work offers to be full-time, from qualifying employers in the province, for a least of one year, including at least 120 days left at the time of applying.
Weekly invitations through the province’s tech program are delivered to the top-scoring applicants who satisfy the prerequisites.
A comprehensive application must be submitted by candidates who have been invited to apply for a provincial nomination. Usually, tech applications will be approved in two to three months after this is finished.
Candidates who are accepted will be given nomination verification from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that they can utilize to apply for permanent residence under the Provincial Nominee Program Class.
PNP applicants have a very excellent probability of earning an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence through the Express Entry procedure since they immediately receive 600 points for their Comprehensive Ranking System score.
