British Columbia Express Entry Stream

The Express Entry stream of British Columbia is linked with the federal Express Entry. Interested candidates can apply to the British Columbia PNP under the following sub-categories of the Express Entry BC:

Skilled Workers;
International Graduates; and
International post-graduates

Skills Immigration

Skilled workers, International Graduates, and Post-graduates can apply through this stream directly under the BC Provincial Nominee Program. Candidates required a permanent job offer to apply through both the above-mentioned immigration streams of the BC PNP. Also, the province has not considered some occupations in this draw due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses in British Columbia.
