BC PNP Tech Program

In the initial stage, the program was a pilot project but it was proved one of the successful programs so the authorities have made the program permanent. The program structure has been designed to fill a big gap, which is faced by British Columbia’s technology sector. The program especially targets international talent because employers are unable to find tech workers locally.

Candidates need to register for one of the provincial immigration streams and also require a valid job offer letter from British Columbia-based employer for at least 12 months under the listed below occupations.
