Also, the fee for a request for review of a Skills Immigration application has increased from $200 to $500 by 150 per cent.

In the BC PNP application system, applicants are required to pay the fees either upon registration or at the time of submission of their application. Fees paid to the BC PNP can only be applied for through the BC PNP Online application system.

The new Skills Immigration application fee will be $1,150, starting on August 6 2020. The fees earlier were $700. The new fee for requesting a review is $500, from the previous $200 fee.

“The increased fees will also enable continued improvements to the program, including maintaining or reducing processing times, improving program efficiency, enhancing program integrity and expanding applicant outreach.”

A separate fee is payable upon submission to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC] of a request for Canadian permanent residence.

According to the BC PNP, the fee increase is to enable the BC PNP to continue to serve applicants efficiently and provide them with assistance until they receive their Canada PR.

The PNP of British Columbia provides a dedicated path for foreign entrepreneurs and international workers to apply for permanent residence in Canada for themselves and their dependents.

The category Skills Immigration (SI) targets skilled and semi-skilled workers in high-demand occupations in BC and are further broken down into five components:

  • Skilled Workers
  • Healthcare Professionals
  • International Graduates
  • International Post-Graduates
  • Entry Level and Semi-Skilled Workers

The BC PNP periodically issues Invitations to Apply (ITA) for the nomination of highest-ranking candidates in three streams of the program: skilled workers, international graduates, and semi-skilled and entry-level workers.

Unless otherwise stated in the specific requirements of each category, all candidates under Skills Immigration must have the following conditions:
