In the latest BC PNP draw on July 16, over 67 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency (PR) were issued in both general and targeted rounds of invitations.
B.C. has consistently conducted weekly draws without breaks since we began covering immigration news. However, a new trend has emerged: the number of invitations has decreased (now less than half), while the cutoff score has increased.
A total of 34 invitations were sent to profiles with job offers in one of 35 tech occupations, maintaining the same cutoff score as the previous BC PNP general draw. Additionally, 14 profiles with experience in 39 healthcare-related occupations received invitations to apply for permanent residency.
Furthermore, 9 invitations were issued to profiles with experience as early childhood educators’ assistants or instructors (NOC 42202), and 10 applicants with experience in 25 construction-related occupations were invited in British Columbia’s newest category-based draw, introduced in late 2023.
