On April 22, 2024, British Columbia updated the Skills Immigration draw timing. Starting April 30, 2024, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) will extend invitations to applicants for Skills Immigration whose qualifying registrations were received before the draw date, meaning that all applications submitted before the draw date will be included in that specific draw. However, it is important to remember that registrations received on the draw date will not be part of that day’s draw. They will instead be considered for an upcoming draw. This approach aims to offer all applicants a fair chance and make the immigration process more efficient.
