Candidates are required to create an online profile through the BC PNP portal if they want to apply for provincial nomination through Skills Immigration or Express Entry BC categories. They must register themselves under the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS).

All the applications for provincial nomination are awarded points that help in determining the chances of getting an invitation in the latest BC PNP provincial draw. These scores are based on factors like years of direct work experience, education level, and a BC PNP job offer. 

British Columbia PNP held tech pilot draws every week.

The pilot project was introduced in May 2017, to solve the problem of the province's tech sector accessing the skilled workforce in technology. Tech pilot was specifically designed to help the growth of the technology sector in the province by allowing the in-demand skilled immigrants to live in the province. The tech pilot has been extended several times and is opened until the next month.
