BC PNP’s Third Draw In July Issued 171 ITAs to Eligible Candidates for PR

British Columbia PNP Draw

On July 18, 2023, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) conducted its latest Skills Immigration draw, granting a significant number of invitations to qualified applicants. A total of 171 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) were distributed to individuals who were already part of the BC PNP pool, indicating the province’s continued efforts to attract skilled immigrants.

The recent draw marked the third Skills Immigration draw held by British Columbia in July 2023, underscoring the province’s commitment to bolstering its workforce through the Provincial Nominee Program. The BC PNP aims to attract individuals with the necessary skills and experience to contribute to the province’s economic growth and development.

Date of the draw: 18th July

Total ITAs issued: 171

Category 1: Targeted Draw (Tech)

Category 2: Targeted Draw (Childcare: Early childhood educators and assistants (NOC 42202))

Category 3: Targeted Draw (Healthcare)

Category 4: Targeted Draw (Other Priority Occupations (NOCs 31103, 32104))

The Skills Immigration category within the BC PNP is designed for skilled workers in high-demand occupations. These occupations typically include professionals in technology, healthcare, trades, and other key sectors that are essential for the province’s economy. By inviting qualified individuals to apply for a provincial nomination, British Columbia strives to address the labor market needs and bridge the skill gaps that exist in various industries.

To be eligible for consideration in the Skills Immigration draw, candidates are required to register through the BC PNP’s Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) and provide information regarding their work experience, education, and language proficiency. Candidates are then assigned a score based on their credentials, and the highest-scoring individuals are subsequently invited to apply for provincial nomination.

Successful applicants who receive an ITA can apply for a provincial nomination, which, if granted, can significantly enhance their prospects of obtaining permanent residence in Canada. Provincial nominees receive additional points under the federal Express Entry system, thereby increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply for permanent residency from the federal government.

The BC PNP has been an instrumental pathway for immigrants to settle in British Columbia, one of Canada’s most vibrant provinces. Its initiatives not only address the labor market needs but also contribute to the cultural diversity and economic prosperity of the region.

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program remains an attractive option for skilled workers seeking to establish themselves in Canada. The recent Skills Immigration draw, which awarded 171 ITAs, highlights the program’s ongoing commitment to attracting and retaining talented individuals who can make valuable contributions to the province’s economy.
