Express Entry candidates are usually ranked based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. But for the consideration under EEBC, candidates are issued points according to the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS).  

How to get nominated from British Columbia PNP?

Candidates having their profiles registered in the federal Express Entry system are also required to register in SIRS. Whereas to qualify for Skilled Immigration category under BC PNP, candidates must only be registered in the SIRS.

SIRS is a points-based system designed for the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP). It helps the province prioritize those candidates who demonstrate their skills to support the province’s economy. A candidate is scored out of a maximum 200 points and it is based on Economic Factors (120 points) and Human Capital factors (80 points) 

Additionally, BC PNP offers provincial nominations to such international investors/entrepreneurs who wish to actively participate in the British Columbian economy. The British Columbian Entrepreneur Stream is an ideal immigration pathway to obtain a permanent residence in Canada.
