For candidates to qualify under the EEBC category, they will have to register under the federal Express Entry system. Their profiles are duly evaluated and ranked above one and another using a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). A CRS is based on human capital factors like age, education, work experience & language skills in English or French.
Later, to express interest in receiving a nomination from British Columbia will these candidates have to register under the province’s points-based Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS).
The skilled and semi-skilled workers with specific high-demand occupation in the province can apply under the SI category. For this, candidates need to only register under the SIRS.
Candidates with minimum required provincial scores are only invited to apply for provincial nomination which is subjected to change in every draw.
The minimum score requirements in September 20 BC PNP draws were:
- SI – Skilled Worker: 93
- SI – International Graduate: 94
- SI – Entry Level and Semi-Skilled: 75
- EEBC – Skilled Worker: 93

A full-time job offer from an employer in the province will give an added advantage to candidates aspiring to get nominated by British Columbia.
September month couldn’t get any better for BC PNP. The province held a total of seven draws and nominated nearly 1500 candidates under various categories and streams to eventually apply for a permanent residency.
Prior to holding its largest-ever nomination draw this year, BC PNP also surpassed 6,000 nominations for Canada PR in 2020 in the month of September.
