British Columbia had two selections at once
They were intended for different candidates.
On September 12, British Columbia held two immigration draws: for professionals with in-demand occupations and for entrepreneurs.
Selection for specialists
In the first draw, 183 candidates were invited among skilled workers and international graduates, including those who registered in the federal Express Entry system.
Invitations were distributed among the following occupations:
- tech workers — 133 invitations;
- early childhood educators and assistants — 36 invitations;
- healthcare professionals — 14 invitations.
Professionals with tech occupations needed to score 88 points under the provincial scoring system, while other candidates needed 60 points. This is the second time in a row that British Columbia has not invited veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
Points are awarded for work experience, education, language skills, employer location, and salary.
