British Columbia invited 195 immigration candidates through a provincial nominee program draw held on January 19, 2021.
The new invitations went to candidates from the Skills Immigration (SI) and Express Entry BC (EEBC) streams, specifically the Skilled Worker, International Graduate as well as the Entry Level and Semi-Skilled categories.
The minimum scores for this draw ranged between 80 and 106 points.
The EEBC category is for candidates with a valid profile in the federal government’s Express Entry system, which is Canada’s main pathway for skilled immigrants who are hoping to obtain Canadian permanent residence.
The SI category is for skilled and semi-skilled workers whose occupations are in high demand in the province of B.C.
