This is the first time the province has invited so many candidates.
On October 5, the British Columbia Immigration Program sent out 108 invitations to apply for a nomination from the province. 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 who applied through Express Entry;
- graduates who applied through Express Entry.
The minimum passing score in all categories was 70 — down 10 points from the previous selection held on September 21. The passing score in the last selection was the lowest for 2021, while the number of invitations was a record.
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.
