What is the BC PNP Tech Stream?
This program was introduced in 2017 as a temporary program and due to it’s growing demand, it has become a permanent part of the British Columbia’s provincial nominee program.
This stream focuses on foreign nationals who are skilled workers and have job offers in one of the 29 BC PNP Tech Occupations.
What is the eligibility criteria?
As discussed above, the foreign national must have a job offer in one of the occupations listed above. The job offer must be for minimum one year in duration and must have 120 days remaining when submitting the application.
Secondly, this is not a SEPARATE immigration stream. Instead, when applying, you must choose and be eligible for either the Skilled Worker or the International graduate stream.
