British Columbia holds the most-awaited PNP draw. First 2025 BC PNP Skills Immigration draw selects 94 applicants.

The details of the May 8, 2025, BC PNP Skills Immigration (SI) draw are:

  • Firstly, 94 applicants have received invitations to apply for a PNP nomination.
  • A total of 94 candidates have been divided into two groups of 47, with each group required to meet its own specific criteria:
    • Group 1 [47 candidates]: Must be earning at least $105 per hour, currently working full-time in B.C. for the supporting employer, and the job offered must be a NOC TEER 0 or 1 position.
    • Group 2 [47 candidates]: Must have a minimum EOI score of 150.

 

In 2024, the BC PNP was following a two-part draw series. The first part selected applicants on a general basis, whereas the second part targeted applicants from the priority section.

However, in the first BC PNP Skills Immigration draw of this year, we are seeing a change. As this is the first such draw, we will have to wait for the province to hold the next draws. This way, we can assess if the current draw is unique or if the province has changed its strategy towards selecting PNP applicants.

If you wish to apply to BC PNP SI for a PNP nomination, then you have the following streams to choose from:

  • Skilled Worker
  • Health Authority
  • Entry Level & Semi-Skilled (ELSS)

 

In addition, skilled worker and health authority streams are linked to the Express Entry (EE) system. So, to apply via the Express Entry option, you must:

  • Firstly, create an active EE profile under 1 of the sub-streams:
    • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
    • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
    • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
  • Secondly, meet Human Capital Factors.
  • Also, meet the eligibility terms of the BC PNP EE linked category.
  • Besides, your job profile and job offer must meet the eligibility criteria.

If you meet the above terms and meet the BC PNP draw criteria, you can easily get a PNP nomination.
