This year, the BC PNP has introduced several modifications in addition to operational updates.
Operational Announcements:
Applications received after May 2024 will have extended processing time. Processing times are anticipated to return to 3 months (for 80% of applications) by early 2025.
Program Changes Now in Effect:
Entrepreneur Immigration Regional Pilot becomes a permanent stream of the BC PNP
Upcoming Changes Announced but Not Yet In Effect:
The Inclusion of the Pearson Test of English (PTE Core) later this Fall
The BC PNP anticipates accepting the PTE Core language assessment this Fall.
3 New Graduate Streams to replace the current International Graduate and International Post Graduate streams effective January, 2025:
Bachelors Stream: Recent bachelors graduates with indeterminate job offer
Masters Stream: Recent masters graduates with a job offer of at least 1-year.
Doctorate Stream: Recent doctorate graduates
The BC PNP has announced that these three streams are intended to offer potential applicants clarity upfront on the educational and language standards necessary to obtain a nomination. It is expected that the language proficiency threshold for these categories will be set at 8 Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB). More information on these streams will be made available this Fall.
