As per the changing scenario in Canada Immigration, more and more provinces are changing their nomination strategies as well. BC PNP has also smelled the change and started targeting the health worker. As far as British Columbia has concerned, this modification will benefit more those candidates, who are holding temporary residency and would like to move to British Columbia on a study visa or post-study work visa or looking for Permanent Residency in Canada.
