EE BC PNP
The BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) has been in place since 2001 as an economic immigration program for people who want to permanently settle in BC, providing a path for experienced foreign workers and entrepreneurs to move. After being nominated by the BC province and passing the health and safety check of the federal government immigration office, the applicant and the children of his/her spouse can obtain the Canadian permanent residence visa and get the PR card.
Currently, the Skills Immigration program of the BC nomination program is mainly divided into the Skilled Worker program and the Unskilled Worker program.
What is EEBC?
Due to the implementation of immigration fast-track by the Canadian federal immigration agency in 2015, some Canadian provinces have also launched the corresponding Express Entry(EE) provincial nomination (PNP) program, which is suitable for international students and skilled workers. In other words, there is a special EE provincial nomination program to add bonus points for applicants, and applicants can get 600 bonus points in the selection system. It's a faster way for qualified skilled workers to gain permanent residency in British Columbia.
