British Columbia holds weekly Tech Pilot draws through which candidates with job offers in 29 eligible occupations are invited to apply for a provincial nomination. Launched in 2017, the purpose of the Tech Pilot is to help B.C.’s technology sector recruit IT workers to help address current labor market needs.

In order to be considered eligible under the Tech Pilot, candidates need to be enrolled in one of B.C.’s existing provincial immigration streams and have a legitimate job offer of at least 12 months in one of their Tech Pilot’s qualified jobs .

To apply for the Skills Immigration or Express Entry BC categories candidates must first produce a profile via the BC PNP’s online portal and register under its Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS).

Applicants are evaluated and issued a score based on factors like level of education, work experience, competence in English and area of job. When an applicant is accepted, they can then use their provincial nomination to submit an application for permanent residence with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada under the Provincial Nominee Class.

Express Entry candidates who receive a nomination out of British Columbia is going to be given an additional 600 points supporting their Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and therefore are effectively guaranteed an Invitation To Apply (ITA) in a future national Express Entry draw.

B.C. holds draws via its different PNP categories and flows on a weekly basis. Last week, the province issued 450 provincial nomination invitations in its own largest draw this season. September was a busy month for British Columbia, as the state held a total of seven draws in its different PNP categories and flows and encouraged greater than 1,430 immigration candidates.
