The province of British Columbia has announced its most recent Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw, issuing a total of 148 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to eligible candidates under the Skills Immigration category.
In the draw held on August 7, 2024, several streams within the Skills Immigration category saw varied levels of activity. For the General draw, candidates in the Skilled Worker and International Graduate streams, including those applying through the Express Entry British Columbia (EEBC) options, required a minimum score of 132 to receive an invitation. This was also the minimum score for candidates in the International Graduate streams.
Candidates in the Entry Level & Semi-Skilled stream had a lower threshold, with a minimum score of 110 required for an ITA. Specific streams targeting sectors such as childcare, construction, healthcare, and veterinary care also saw invitations issued based on varying scores. For instance, skilled workers and international graduates in the childcare sector needed a minimum score of 88, while those in the construction sector required a score of 90. Healthcare candidates needed a minimum score of 101, and those in veterinary care needed a score of 80 or above, though the number of invitations in this sector was fewer than five.
This draw highlights British Columbia’s ongoing efforts to attract skilled workers across diverse sectors to support its economic and community development needs. The provincial nominee program continues to be a crucial pathway for candidates seeking permanent residency in Canada, reflecting the province’s commitment to addressing labor market needs and fostering growth in key industries.

To apply for the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), you need to follow several key steps. First, determine your eligibility by reviewing the various streams under the Skills Immigration category, such as Skilled Worker, International Graduate, or Entry Level & Semi-Skilled. Next, create an account on the BC PNP online portal and complete the registration form for the stream that best matches your qualifications and experience.
After registering, you’ll receive a score based on the BC PNP points system, and if you meet the minimum score threshold for a draw, you may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Once invited, submit a comprehensive application including proof of your skills, work experience, and other relevant documents. If your application is approved, you’ll receive a provincial nomination, which you can then use to apply for permanent residency through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
