    Conclusion

    At beginning of the first quarter end, the province opens its account for the invitation draws with significant numbers. On average the BCPNP invites nearly 800 to 1000 migrants per month. These numbers are winning the attention of several overseas migrants. However, as per BCPNP province’s immigration guidelines, the immigration department only nominates those candidates who are in the province either on a Canada study visa or on a work permit. Apart from this, if the aspirant is not study visa or work permit then the overseas migrant will have a few chances to select. The first is if a candidate is holding an offer letter from any province-based employer or if any candidate will get the inter-company transfer. Otherwise, chances are less for getting BCPNP nomination directly from the province.
