On Tuesday, Nov. 10, British Columbia sent invitations to 358 candidates who applied to their provincial nominee program (BC PNP)
BC PNP regularly conducts draws for their immigration program, typically every week. Every week alternates between regular program draw that invites all different types of professions and a more selective draw under their Tech Pilot.
The Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) points thresholds for nomination in the Nov. 10 draw remain relatively the same as previous rounds of invitations sent out.
