Most of the candidates received invitations from the Tech category. There, 90 invitations were sent to candidates scoring at least 108 points.
The second most invited candidates were from the Childcare category; 45 ITAs for those scoring 65 points or higher.
Apart from these two, ITAs were also sent through the Healthcare, Construction, and Veterinary Care. 41, 12, and less than 5 candidates were invited through these categories respectively.
Candidates needed to score at least 80 points to receive an ITA from the Construction category. Besides them, other categories only needed candidates to score 65 points or higher.
In the earlier Skills Immigration draws, the minimum score requirement was 60 points. However, in these draws, we can see that British Columbia is calling for candidates with a slightly higher score.
Maybe this trend will continue, maybe not. Stay tuned to know if BC PNP reduces the minimum score requirement.
