The province issued 15 invitations for such candidates. The lowest score of those candidates was 125 points, 5 points more compared to the previous NOC-specific draw. In total, British Columbia issued 1,346 ITAs under the BCPNP in 2022. British Columbia (BC) has been sending out separate invites to these two occupations twice a month for the past year. Due to a large number of candidates from specific labor market sectors who have registered in the province’s SIRS (Skills Immigration Registration System), these separate drawings are being held. When British Columbia conducts one of its regular draws, the high-scoring candidates from each sub-category are invited to apply for a PNP (provincial nomination) to apply for permanent residency. You have 30 days from the date of the invitation to submit a complete application through the BC PNP online system if you have received an invitation.
