Overview of the BC PNP
The Immigration Programs Branch of the Government of British Columbia oversees the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), an economic immigration scheme.
The province can choose and nominate foreign workers, students, and entrepreneurs through the program in order to promote government initiatives, fill labor market gaps, and expand the province’s economy. You and your family can apply to IRCC to become permanent residents of Canada if you are nominated.
