British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program

BEFORE COMPLETING OUR ONLINE ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is an employer-driven immigration program operated by the Government of British Columbia, in co-operation with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). [Why choose British Columbia?]

Employers who are unable to fill skilled positions with Canadian residents may present their business case to the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program and apply for approval to recruit a specified number of foreign candidates to fill these positions.

The employer will have to show that the position offered:

  • cannot be filled by a Canadian resident;
  • is for permanent, full-time employment in British Columbia;
  • meets provincial employment and wage standards;
  • is offered to an individual who meets the required qualifications; and
  • does not conflict with existing collective bargaining agreements.

You, as a candidate may be considered for the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program nomination if:

  • you are recruited by a pre-approved British Columbia employer; and,
  • you have a valid job offer.

Successful Provincial Nominee Program candidates nominated by the Government of British Columbia will be required to meet all Federal statutory requirements regarding health, criminal and security checks before an immigration visa is issued.

As a provincial nominee, the applicant will receive faster processing of his or her application for permanent residence.

The British Columbian Government has further specific criteria which it requires applicants to meet. The criteria are classified into two main categories. You must fall within one of the listed groups in order to be considered:

  • Strategic Occupations

a) Registered nurses

b) Skilled workers

c) International students

  • Business Categories

a) Business Skills: For individuals with specific business projects who have proven abilities and financial resources to establish a business in British Columbia.

b) Projects: For individuals such as key managers, employees or business owners who are essential to the success of identified economic projects.

c) Regional Business: For individuals with specific business projects outside of Greater Vancouver who have proven abilities and financial resources to establish a business in British Columbia.
