British Columbia holds draws for different categories of candidates every week. The previous general draw was on April 4, and the passing scores changed only slightly. The previous target draw was on April 11, and the scores remained the same.
The province awards points for factors such as language skills, work experience, education, employer location, and salary. It is also necessary to find a job in the province before applying for immigration.
