The BC PNP Tech Pilot is a fast-track immigration pathway under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) designed to attract and retain tech talent in the province. Here's what you need to know:
The Tech Pilot provides a streamlined process for skilled workers in the technology sector to obtain permanent residency in British Columbia. It focuses on 29 in-demand technology occupations to support the growth of the province's tech industry.
To apply for the BC PNP Tech Pilot, candidates must first create a profile in the BC PNP's online system and register under the Skills Immigration (SI) or Express Entry BC (EEBC) stream. Once registered, candidates with a valid job offer in a tech occupation may be invited to apply for nomination under the Tech Pilot.
If nominated, candidates can then apply for permanent residency to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) under the Provincial Nominee Class.
For detailed information on the BC PNP Tech Pilot, including eligibility criteria, designated occupations, application procedures, and processing times, individuals are encouraged to visit the official website of the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) or consult with immigration advisors.
