B.C. again calls for I.T. immigrants
The province has shared the results of a new immigration draw.
On November 2, British Columbia sent 77 invitations to the provincial immigration program. Luck favoured candidates in the Technical Programme, which is designed for IT workers.
The drawing was held among the following categories:
- skilled workers;
- graduates;
- skilled workers who applied through Express Entry;
- graduates who applied through Express Entry.
The minimum passing score in all categories was 75 — unchanged from the previous selection held on October 19.
To participate in the Technical Immigration Program, applicants must register with one of British Columbia's immigration streams and receive a job offer in one of 29 eligible occupations. They are also assessed on a number of factors: level of education, language skills, work experience and availability of a job offer.
To maximize your chances of receiving an invitation from BC, we recommend keeping an eye on history of pass scores and number of invitations.
