BC PNP Points Calculator: SI & EI Streams Points

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) offers various streams for prospective candidates to apply for a provincial nomination. The BC PNP has categorized its stream in the following ways:

• Skills Immigration streams
• Entrepreneur Immigration streams

The Skills Immigration streams are for candidates who have work experience, education, and skills which will help boost the local economy of the province. On the other hand, the Entrepreneur Immigration streams are for entrepreneurs who would contribute to the local economy by building businesses in the province. 

No matter which immigration stream you would apply through, you must meet the BC PNP points requirements for it. How these points are calculated is mentioned in this blog.
