Particularly, 20 healthcare professional candidates are invited by BC who are qualified for the subcategories of Skilled worker, International Graduate, or Entry Level and semi-Skilled workers. Additionally, it is said by the province that “fewer than five” nurse aides, orderly, and patient service aides apply under the entry-level and semi-skilled sub-categories. To be eligible in both of the draws candidates were required to have scored at least 62 provincial scores.
There are a total of 20 early childhood teachers who are eligible for the subcategories of Skilled worker and International Graduates and also received invitations from the province. To be invited candidates must have scored a minimum of 62.
