British Columbia issues 87 invitations in the latest Tech Pilot draw

87 immigration candidates with a job offer were invited by British Columbia in the technology sector of the province, to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residency on 23 June.

Selected candidates from the subcategories of Skilled Worker and International Graduates required a provincial minimum score of 80. The June 23 draw saw the minimum score staying in the low 80s, as has been the case for Tech Pilot drawings since early May.

Express Entry candidates who secure a nomination from British Columbia can earn an extra 600 points towards their Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System – CRS score, and an Invitation to Apply (ITA) is essentially guaranteed in a forthcoming federal Express Entry draw.
