B.C. again invites IT professionals
Dozens of candidates were the lucky ones in the recent selection process.
On July 13, the BC Provincial Program issued 56 invitations to apply for a provincial nomination. The selection was for the Technical Program, which is for IT workers.
The drawing was held among the following categories:
- skilled workers;
- graduates;
- skilled workers with selection via Express Entry;
- graduates with selection via Express Entry.
The minimum passing score in all categories was 80 — unchanged from the previous selection held on June 29.
To participate in the Technical Immigration Program, applicants must register with one of BC's immigration streams and have a valid job offer in one of 29 eligible occupations.
Applicants are assessed and scored to determine whether they are eligible to apply for this round. The evaluation is based on a number of factors: education level, language skills, work experience and availability of a job offer.
To maximize your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for a nomination from BC, we recommend keeping an eye on history of passing scores and number of invitations.
