What is BC PNP Point?

The BC PNP (British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program) Points System is a key part of the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS), used to evaluate and rank candidates who wish to immigrate to British Columbia.

The points system assesses candidates based on various human capital and economic factors. The aim is to identify individuals who can best contribute to the economic needs of the province.

Factors Influencing BC PNP Points

1. Human Capital Factors (Maximum 120 points):
   • Work Experience: Points are awarded based on the number of years of directly related work experience in the occupation of the B.C. job offer. Additional points are given for work experience in Canada.
   • Education Level: Points vary depending on the highest level of education achieved, with additional points for education obtained in British Columbia or Canada.
   • Language Proficiency: Points are awarded based on Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) levels in English or French, with higher scores for higher proficiency.
2. Economic Factors (Maximum 80 points):
   • Hourly Wage of the B.C. Job Offer: Higher wages result in higher points, reflecting the ability to support oneself and dependents.
   • Job Location: Points are awarded based on the location of the job within B.C., with certain regions prioritised to support regional economic development.

Additional Criteria

• Occupation Demand: The National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill level of the job offer is considered, prioritising high-demand occupations.
• Strategic Priorities: The program may also target specific sectors or regions to address particular economic needs of the province, such as technology, healthcare, and construction.

Process

Candidates first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), and based on their score, they may receive an invitation to apply for provincial nomination. Those with higher scores are more likely to be invited.

This points-based system ensures that the province selects immigrants who are most likely to succeed economically and contribute to the community.
