Changes in the immigration program of British Columbia.

In January 2016, the immigration program of British Columbia (BC PNP) was radically changed. The main change is that even if you fit all the criteria of one of the immigration categories, you still have to register in the system and wait for an invitation to immigration. Invitations to immigrants receive the best of candidates.

If you meet the requirements of one of the BC PNP immigration programs and your employer gives you support, you can register with the Skills Immigration Registration System. At the same time you get points depending on your personal data, after registration you are in the standby mode. Periodically, the BC PNP selects the best candidates from the database and sends invitations for immigration to the Provincial Program BC.

The maximum number of points that you can score on the Provincial Program BC – 200. Factors affecting the number of points:
– The professional level of the job offer received (NOC O, A, B, C, D)
– The annual salary of the job offered to you
– Geographical position in the BC of the job you offered
– Your previous work experience in the profession for which you were offered to work in BC
– Your education
– Level of English

BC PNP guarantees to invite you to immigration in the event that you score the following points for immigration programs BC:
Skills Immigration-Skilled Worker – 135 points
Skills Immigration-International Graduate – 105 points
Skills Immigration Entry Level Semi Skilled – 95 points
Skills Immigration-Northeast Pilot Project – 95 points
