British Columbia is issuing immigration invitations again
The province doesn't stop its tradition of holding draws every week.
On June 27, British Columbia held a new draw for immigration applicants. The province sent out 185 invitations to various applicants.
130 of them were selected in the general drawing. They applied by the following streams:
- Skilled Worker (including those registered in Express Entry) — a minimum score of 106;
- International Graduate (including those registered in Express Entry) — a minimum score of 109;
- Entry-Level and Semi-Skilled — a minimum score of 87.
In addition, 55 invitations were given to candidates with certain professions who scored at least 60 points:
- early childhood educators and assistants — 30 invitations;
- healthcare professionals — 20 invitations;
- veterinarians and veterinary technicians — less than 5 invitations.
The previous general selection in British Columbia took place on June 13. Passing scores for skilled workers and international graduates were 2 points lower, while those for semi-skilled workers remained the same. There was also a targeted selection on June 20, which included educators, health professionals, and veterinarians.
British Columbia awards points for education, language skills, work experience, employer location, and salary. You must find a job in the province before you can apply for immigration.
Keep an eye on the history of provincial selections so you don't miss your chance at immigration.
