The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program carried out a targeted print run on December 10, 2024. At the draw, qualified candidates were invited to apply for provincial nomination, a key step in accelerating their access to permanent residency in Canada.
General categories: 6 invitations
In the general category, including skilled workers, skilled workers with the Express Entry option, as well as entry-level and semi-skilled profiles, 6 invitations have been sent.
Target sectors: priority to core businesses
In addition to general invitations, the draw paid particular attention to strategic professional sectors for the province:
- Skilled workers (including Express Entry) in child care less than 5 invitations.
- Skilled construction workers (including Express Entry) less than 5 invitations.
- Skilled workers (including Express Entry) in the healthcare sector less than 5 invitations.
- Skilled workers (including Express Entry) in veterinary care less than 5 invitations.
These results reflect British Columbia's strategy to meet workforce needs in priority sectors.
Why is this program essential?
British Columbia's Provincial Nominee Program enables the province to select qualified candidates based on regional economic needs. A provincial nomination offers an important advantage in the Express Entry system, for example, by adding points to the candidate's profile, which increases his or her chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residence from the federal government.
