British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)
The BC PNP nominates eligible workers, entrepreneurs and businesses that meet British Columbia’s economic and labour market needs. A provincial nomination is a step toward applying for permanent residence. It does not itself grant permanent residence.
Current pathways
The two main pathways are Skills Immigration and Entrepreneur Immigration. Skills Immigration considers workers with the experience, education and qualifications required by the relevant stream. Entrepreneur Immigration is for eligible experienced entrepreneurs and businesses establishing and managing a business in B.C.
Before applying
Review the current stream requirements, program guide and invitation information. Eligibility, occupation priorities, employer requirements and intake availability can change. A B.C. degree or job offer alone does not establish eligibility or guarantee selection. Applicants must intend to settle in British Columbia.
