British Columbia (BC) is a vibrant province of Canada that easily becomes the first choice of newcomers looking to settle in an ideal place for them in Canada. The BC invites the applications from the applicants under various immigration categories under its Provincial Nominee Program, i.e. British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP). A few months back, BCPNP had its official registration system, i.e. SIRS (Skills Immigration Registration System).
It accepts the Expression of Interest (EOI) from the applicants under various categories, i.e.
- Skills Immigration – Skilled Worker

-
- Express Entry B.C. – Skilled Worker
