British Columbia has made selections for different categories of applicants
Passing grades have gone up a bit.
On November 16, British Columbia held a new invitation draw among applicants of different categories. The province has selected a total of 224 people this time.
116 invitations were distributed among the following categories:
- Skilled Worker (including those registered in the Express Entry system) — minimum score of 113;
- International Graduates (including those registered in the Express Entry system) — minimum score of 115;
- Entry Level and Semi-Skilled — minimum score of 94.
Passing scores for the overall selection have risen slightly since the previous such drawing, held October 31.
Another 108 candidates received invitations because of their in-demand professions — some of whom were registered in the federal Express Entry system:
- Early Childhood Educators and Assistants — 59 invitations;
- Healthcare Professionals — 32 invitations;
- Construction Professionals — 12 invitations;
- other specialties (including veterinarians, zootechnicians and veterinary technicians) — 5 invitations.
The minimum score for most of them was 60 — except for experts in the field of construction. These candidates needed to score at least 75 points. Points are awarded for work experience, education, language skills, employer location and salary.
