Two Canadian provinces invite applicants in the latest draws. Provincial Nominee Programs are immigration programs run by every province and territory in Canada, except for Quebec and Nunavut. Immigration is a shared responsibility between federal and provincial governments.
Every year, IRCC creates an Immigration Levels Plan that determines the number of permanent residents who will be admitted to Canada in the upcoming years and sets nominal targets for the following years. Through the plan, IRCC also decides how many permanent residents will be admitted to the nation via any given program. For instance, in 2024, IRCC will welcome 110,000 new permanent residents through the PNP.
In order to help meet the target, IRCC offers each participating province an allocation of nominations. The provincial governments further select the economic immigration applicants who are likely to have an optimistic impact on the local economy and close urgent gaps in the provincial labor force.
Provincial Immigration Results From June 29 To July 5
Two Canadian provinces invite applicants in the latest draws. Here are the results for the same.
- British Columbia
British Columbia invited candidates to apply for provincial nomination on July 3 this week. The province invited more than 72 applicants in the International Graduate and Skilled Worker streams of the BC PNP and included applicants who are eligible for the Express Entry BC alternative.
The invitations were issued to applicants in five specific occupational categories. The highest number of invitations, i.e., 36, went to the applicants who were in tech professions and also had a minimum Skills Immigration Registration System score of 122. SIRS operates like the federal Comprehensive Ranking System but is only applicable to BC PNP applicants.
The other draws included 14 invitations to applicants in childcare professions with a minimum score of 95, 13 invitations to applicants in construction with a score of 98, 9 invitations to applicants in healthcare professions with a score of 106, and less than five invitations to those in veterinary care professions with a minimum score of 80.
- Manitoba
Manitoba also held a PNP draw this week on July 4.
The province issued over 126 letters of advice to apply to applicants in two streams of the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program.
Moreover, letters went to around 85 International Education stream applicants and 41 Skilled Candidates Overseas. Skilled Candidates Overseas required a minimum score of 709 to be considered. They were part of the provincial Strategic Recruitment Initiatives.
