British Columbia immigration recently revealed it has been conducting specific B.C. PNP draws aimed at technology workers since May 2017.<\/p>\n

The change is evidence of how the province is positioning itself to benefit from technology workers looking for alternatives to the U.S. under Donald Trump\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n

A coveted provincial nomination effectively guarantees selection under the\u00a0Canada Express Entry<\/a>\u00a0System, 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 B.C. PNP publishes the scores immigrants need to guarantee an invitation for\u00a0Canada immigration<\/a>\u00a0under 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
