On November 16, 2022, the provincial government of British Columbia announced the most significant changes to the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program’s (BC PNP) Skills Immigration stream. According to the amendments, the maximum points for human capital factors have been increased, and points for NOC skill level have been removed. In addition, the province expanded eligibility for the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) to any skilled occupation in the regions and introduced more points for candidates working or studying outside the Metro Vancouver Regional District.
