Criteria for targeted invitations to the Skills Immigration streams may encompass:

• Level and field of education and completion location
• Recognized professional designations in B.C.
• Proficiency in languages
• Occupation
• Length and skill level of work experience
• Salary and/or skill level of job offer
• Intent to live, work, and establish residence in a specific region
• Strategic priorities - factors fulfilling specific labor market needs in B.C. or backing governmental pilot projects and initiatives

The BC PNP uses a point system called the BC PNP points calculator to rank registered candidates. Only those candidates with the highest scores will receive invitations to apply to the Skills Immigration stream.
