The province held another draw for candidates.
On March 7, the province of British Columbia held an immigration drawing under the provincial immigration program. A total of 274 people were invited.
229 candidates were selected by the province in a general drawing in which the following streams participated:
- Skilled Worker (including those registered in the Express Entry system) — a minimum score of 100;
- International Graduate (including those registered in Express Entry) — a minimum score of 105;
- Entry-Level and Semi-Skilled — a minimum score of 85.
The previous draw was held on February 22. In the new drawing, the passing scores for international graduates increased by 2 points, for skilled workers decreased by 1 point, and for entry-level and semi-skilled workers remained unchanged.
Another 45 people received invitations in a target draw for certain occupations. These candidates needed to score 60 points:
- early childhood educators and assistants — 26 invitations;

Usually, veterinarians and veterinary technicians are also invited to target draws, but they did not participate this time. The previous target draw was held on February 28, and the passing score remained the same.
