British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP)

Permanent Residency in British Columbia for Workers, Professionals, & Entrepreneurs

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) allows high-demand foreign workers and experienced entrepreneurs to obtain permanent residency in B.C.

The program offers three options or pathways through which a foreign national may apply for permanent residency in B.C., with each option offering different sub-categories based on the applicant's National Occupational Classification skill level, job, or international student status.

The pathways available are:

• Skills Immigration: This pathway is tailored for skilled and semi-skilled workers in high-demand occupations in the province of British Columbia. One main requirement is the support of an eligible employer who must demonstrate and fulfill certain responsibilities and requirements to support the BC provincial nominee's application.
  
• Express Entry: A faster way for eligible skilled workers to immigrate to B.C. Relevant work experience and education are required as well as meeting language requirements. This pathway to permanent residency also requires the support of an eligible employer.
• The Entrepreneur Immigration stream: Designed for eligible high net-worth business people who are able to demonstrate they can invest in, establish, and actively operate a business in B.C.

Some categories require language test, educational credential assessment, and other specific requirements.
