Five Canadian provinces, including British Columbia (BC), Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, and Prince Edward Island (PEI), recently conducted weekly provincial Nomination draws and issued invitations to apply to potential candidates. Read the PNP draw results of the 5 provinces listed below and discover the number of invitations issued by each province and the required minimum score. 

Weekly PNP draw results of 5 provinces held between September 16-22. 

Provincial Nomination draws are the popular immigration pathway managed by most of Canada’s provinces. Each province nominates eligible candidates who can easily establish themselves in the nominating provinces and can contribute economically. 

Notably, the exact terms related to the invitations issued by the provinces, as well as the qualifying score, may differ province-wise. However, for clarity, all the immigration invitations issued by the provinces will be called invitations to apply (ITAs), and the qualifying score for immigration will be called ‘score’ or ‘scores.’ 

Here are the PNP draw results of 5 provinces, including British Columbia (BC), Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, and Prince Edward Island (PEI). The draws occurred between 16 September and 22 September. 

British Columbia (BC) 

The province of British Columbia (BC) conducted two draws under its Provincial Nomination Program between 16-22 September. One was a general draw, and the other was a targeted immigration draw that manages various immigration streams. 

The following are the multiple immigration streams of British Columbia: 

  • Skilled Worker stream; 
  • International Graduate stream; 
  • International Graduate EEBC option stream; 
  • Entry Level and Semi-Skilled immigration streams; and 
  • Skilled Worker-Express Entry British Columbia (EEBC) option stream. 

EEBC is a stream managed by the province under BCPNP that corresponds with the Express Entry and accepts enhanced nominations. 

British Columbia, under its PNP BCPNP, issued a total of 147 invitations to apply to candidates for these streams. 

Here are the minimum required scores for each stream that candidates needed to qualify for the draw: 

  • For the Skilled Worker and Skilled Worker EEBC option streams-108 Score.
