British Columbia routinely selects candidates for provincial nomination through draws under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP).
Candidates are assessed and ranked based on points allocated using the BC PNP points calculator. Points are awarded for factors such as Age, Education, Work Experience, Language Proficiency, Adaptability, and Spousal Sponsorship.
Candidates with the highest scores receive a provincial nomination, which enables them to apply for permanent resident visas through Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
