British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province, held a new Provincial Nominee Program draws on May 10.
British Columbia has held a new draw on 10 May 2022 inviting entrepreneurs, workers, and graduates to four target draws under Canada PNP.
The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program is the most preferred immigration pathway for people to immigrate to Canada.

The second and third are held for inviting 20 workers from the healthcare sector (international students, entry and semi-skilled level workers).
The province states in detail the following statement that the state has asked less than five skilled workers nurse assistants, orderlies, and patient examination associates to apply in the entry-level and semi-skilled sub-category.
An applicant has to score a minimum of 62 points to get an invitation to apply (ITA) in both draws. A total number of 20 nursery teachers are invited as under-skilled workers and international graduate category. Similar to the second and third draw criteria, they also need 62 points to get an invitation from BC PNP.
