A new draw held on 7^th May by British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program issued 187 invitations to apply (ITAs) for Canadian permanent residence from five Skilled immigration and Express Entry British Columbia categories.

The candidates invited under skilled immigration category were from the skilled worker, International graduate and Semi-skilled and Entry level were issued ITAs. Apart from this, candidates under Express Entry B.C (EEBC) Skilled Worker and International Graduate category were also invited for Canadian permanent residence.

All the candidates who applied through Express Entry received an additional 600 points towards their CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score.

Foreign nationals who would like to apply through either Skilled Immigration or Express Entry British Columbia (EEBC) programs have to first register their online profile with British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) through the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS).

SIRS (Skills Immigration Registration System) is a point based system which allows BC PNP to evaluate candidates through different factors like education, age, and work experience and language proficiency in English or French. A full-time job offer from a B.C employer is the key factor of selection for most of the skilled immigration and Express Entry categories.
