The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) is an immigration pathway designed to attract skilled workers, international graduates, and entrepreneurs to the province of British Columbia, Canada. The program enables the province to select individuals with the skills, education, and work experience necessary to contribute to the local economy. Successful nominees receive a provincial nomination, which significantly improves their chances of gaining permanent residency through Canada’s Express Entry system or non-Express Entry streams.
