The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) is an immigration initiative designed to attract highly skilled and experienced individuals to British Columbia. The program offers the opportunity for eligible candidates to receive a British Columbia Provincial Nomination Certificate, which streamlines the process of obtaining Canadian permanent residency. This results in expedited processing times compared to other Canadian immigration categories.
