British Columbia holds its second PNP draw in 2024, inviting 193 new immigrants.

More than 193 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency (PR) were sent out on January 16th, 2024, in the first British Columbia PNP draw. Of these, 91 invites were sent out under the Express Entry and BC PNP Skills Immigration streams in a targeted BC PNP draw for 35 tech occupations.

In addition, 53 invites have been sent to profiles that have experience as early childhood educators’ assistants or instructors (NOC 42202).

In British Columbia’s new category-based draw, only 75 applicants with experience in 25 construction-related occupations were invited. Additionally, 29 profiles created with experience in 39 healthcare-related occupations received invitations to apply for permanent residency.
