British Columbia has conducted new draws targeted particularly at regions outside Metro Vancouver, issuing a minimum of 212 invitations through the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program’s various streams. The August 23 draws were targeted at the occupations like tech, teaching, and health.
In the first draw, 205 invitations were issued through five BC PNP streams for skilled workers and international graduates, which included tech occupations. Least scores ranged from 75 to 106 points. An additional set of ‘less than 5’ invitations were issued to international graduates and skilled workers scoring a minimum of 60 points in a draw targeting Early Childhood Educators and Assistants under NOC 4214. The number of invitations was listed as ‘less than 5’ to keep the identity of those who were invited for the draw.
Healthcare workers aimed to draw saw 5 invitations issued to international graduates, skilled workers, and entry-level and semi-skilled workers, also with the least score of 60 points. The last set of ‘less than 5’ targeted invitations went to international graduates and skilled workers under NOCs 3114 and 3213 for animal health technologists, veterinarians, and veterinary technicians in that order, with the least score of 60.
