The British Columbia government operates The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (British Columbia PNP) in partnership with the IRCC. It aims to provide a fast-track service for permanent resident applications for experienced and skilled workers. It is also for business people and their eligible family members to settle in BC permanently.<\/span><\/p>

Additionally, the British Columbia PNP aims to attract immigrants with the necessary skills and experience targeted by the province. They include high-impact workers and entrepreneurs suitable for BC\u2019s labor market and economic development priorities.<\/span><\/p>

The<\/span> BC PNP<\/span><\/a> is one of the simplest immigration programs with easier requirements and the fastest stream for foreign workers in technical occupations. The application for nomination is made with the province, and once nominated, the candidate may already apply for Permanent Residency with the federal government.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
