The economic growth of British Columbia depends on possessing adequate qualified and skilled people to meet the needs of the labour market. It has thus developed the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program. It is a pathway for experienced entrepreneurs and highly skilled overseas workers to obtain Canada PR Visa.
The BC PNP offers 3 pathways for obtaining Permanent Residency in British Columbia. Each pathway has diverse categories to choose from to submit an application. This is based on the applicant’s status as an overseas student, job or skill level under National Occupational Classification.
