The latest BC PNP draw on May 28 sent out more than 66 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency (PR) in general and targeted rounds of invitations.
B.C. has been conducting the weekly draws consistently, we can say without any breaks, since the day we entered the immigration news arena.
However, a new trend has emerged recently as B.C. has started shrinking the number of invitations and increasing the cutoff score.
In a general BC PNP draw, only 35 invites were sent out under the BC PNP Skilled Worker and International Graduate streams, including their Express Entry options.
The cutoff score remained the same among all the categories but increased for the Express Entry & Semi-Skilled streams by 3 points as compared to the previous general BC PNP draw on May 14.
Furthermore, 11 invitations have been sent to profiles that have experience as early childhood educators’ assistants or instructors (NOC 42202).
Similarly, 11 applicants with experience in 25 construction-related occupations were invited for British Columbia’s newest category-based draw, introduced in late 2023.
Additionally, 9 profiles created with experience in 39 healthcare-related occupations received invitations to apply for permanent residency.
