Please note, the BC PNP Tech Pilot is extended up to June 2021 to provide tech employers in the province an ability to hire and retain international workers in places where local skilled workers are not available.
A tech draw is designed with an aim to offer an expedited pathway to tech skilled immigrants who wish to apply for Canadian permanent residency and can significantly contribute to British Columbia's shared prosperity.
Since its launch in May 2017, the Tech Pilot has so far supported more than 4,200 tech workers by nominating them for Canadian PR.
The pilot helps ensure that the province's technology sector attract and retain global talent it requires for sustainable growth.
Thus, it helps employers address their labor shortage by offering a fast-tracked, permanent pathway for both international students as well as in-demand international workers.
In order to qualify under BC PNP Tech Pilot, applicants must register in any one of the existing provincial immigration streams of B.C. and have a valid employment offer of minimum 1 year in any one of the 29 eligible tech occupations.
Creating a profile through online portal of BC PNP is mandatory for candidates applying under Skills Immigration or Express Entry BC categories.
Also, they have to register under SIRS, i.e. Skills Immigration Registration System. Applicants' profiles are then evaluated and awarded with a score on the basis of factors like education level, age, work experience, English language proficiency and more.
