A series of invitations were sent out to candidates to apply to the British Columbia and Ontario Provincial Nomination Programs this week.
Despite the fact that it does not constitute permanent residence in and of itself (IRCC), the provincial nomination can be the first step toward obtaining it.
There are nomination programs in most provinces and territories of Canada, with the exception of Nunavut and Quebec. Candidates interested in participating in these programs may receive an invitation from these programs inviting them to submit an application for nomination.
Québec’s immigration policies are different from the federal government’s and are handled by the province. Approximately 80,000 PR applicants have been admitted each year since the PNP was established in 1998. PNP admissions have been increased in Canada by both the federal and provincial governments as a tool. Which promotes economic growth outside urban areas and provinces with a large immigrant population.
Results of PNP draw for September 30-October 7
Ontario
Approximately 1,340 applicants have been invited by the Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP) to participate in Express Entry Skilled Trades as of September 29. To complete the procedure of application you have to complete form 266.
As a requirement, candidates must be a resident of Ontario and have a minimum of one year of experience working full-time in a skilled trade that falls into one of the 37 Minor Groups,73 Major Groups, or 82 Major Groups of the Ontario National Occupational Classification (NOC). During the past two years, there should have been a lot of experience acquired.
To be consider for the position, candidates must also possess a valid trade license and certificate issued by Ontario. As well as achieve a five on the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) in either English or French.
British Columbia
It was a great pleasure for British Columbia to receive applications for nominations from over 229 individuals on October 4.
184 applicants were randomly selected from a large pool, including tech professionals. Applicants from the categories of international graduates, skilled workers, and Express Entry applicants were invited.
General draw applicants had minimum SIRS scores ranging from 82 to 120. SIRS operates in the same way as Express Entry’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). But it only applies to British Columbia’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
A province-wide invitation round also included the following occupations.
- There are 32 early assistants and early childhood teachers, and they have a required CRS score of a minimum of 60.
- There have been 13 people selected for the program from the Skilled Worker, Graduate International Program, Entry Level. And Semi-Skilled categories (including EEBC) whose scores were at least 60 points.
- The minimum requirements for entry-level and semi-skilled healthcare assistants are 60 and 70 points, respectively.
- Minimum 60 scores for other priority occupations.
In formulating the BC PNP (British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program), several factors are taken into account, depending on the province’s labor force needs. Among the factors considered by British Columbia are:
- Education – level, field, and location of education
- Language skills
- Profession
- An overview of the duration and skill level of work experience
- Job offers salary or skill level
- Regional preferences for living, working and settling
- Identifying factors that address specific labor market needs in British Columbia and support government initiatives
The province of British Columbia (BC) is delaying draws from 12 October through 16 November in order to switch from NOC 2016 to NOC 2021. And a revised technique for determining the skill levels of economic immigrants.
