A coveted provincial nomination effectively guarantees selection under the Canada Express Entry<\/a> System, worth 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points. Canada has not seen a draw with a minimum points score above 500 in the whole of 2017.<\/p>\n

The BC PNP publishes the scores immigrants need to guarantee an invitation for Canada immigration<\/a> under its programs.<\/p>\n

The score needed for an international graduate is 30 points below a skilled worker under both the Canada Express Entry and provincial stream.<\/p>\n

For entry-level and semi-skilled workers, that score is lower again.<\/p>\n
