From November 16, 2023, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) prioritizes 25 construction jobs to support the Homes for People plan, addressing the province’s housing and infrastructure needs for the next five years. Specifically, workers in selected construction roles with provincial trade qualifications will receive targeted invitations to apply, ensuring immediate contributions to British Columbia’s labour market. Valid qualifications include a certificate from SkilledTradesBC or a SkilledTradesBC-registered apprenticeship. Ministry staff are working with partners through the BCPNP to meet the construction sector’s needs.
