2,350 Express Entry Candidates have been Nominated by British Columbia in 2017
According to a new report, the Province of British Columbia nominated 2,350 Express Entry candidates for Canadian PR in 2017.
Nine Canadian provinces and two territories have Provincial Nominee Programs, which allow them to nominate a set number of economic immigrants each year for permanent residence.
Express Entry candidates with a provincial nomination receive an additional 600 points towards their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.
The British Columbia PNP has four immigration categories that are linked to the Express Entry: EEBC - International Graduate, EEBC - Skilled Worker, EEBC - International Post Graduate, and EEBC - Healthcare Professional.
The EEBC - Skilled Worker category experienced the most significant year-over-year change of all EEBC categories, growing from 799 nominations in 2016 to 1,181 in 2017.
Citizen of India and China led immigration candidates nominated for permanent residence by the province of British Columbia through its skills immigration stream in 2017, receiving 32% and 21% of nominations respectively. These proportions are essentially the same as in 2016 when the citizen of India received 32% of skills immigration nominations and citizen of China received 22%.
Other than India and China, top 10 source countries for skills immigration stream nominees were South Korea, Australia, United Kingdom, Brazil, Ireland, United States, Philippines, and Iran.
