The British Columbia PNP Online Portal

Both the BC SI and EEBC streams are designed for international skilled workers and graduates having the required education, qualifications, and experience in high demand in British Columbia.

Candidates interested in applying should first create a profile through BC PNP’s online portal. They should register through the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) after this.

Permanent Residency in Canada

Candidates are evaluated and issued a score based on factors such as level of education, job location, work experience, salary, and proficiency in English.

All candidates approved at the BC PNP level are able to apply for permanent residence in Canada through the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) governmental organization.
