When we look at the last April 05, 2022 BC PNP draw we can see that the current raw figures show a positive effect. The following are the updates on the same:

• Draw 1 shows no change. As a result, we can expect the figures to go up in the upcoming draws.
• Whereas, in draw 2 we can see 23 points rise in ITAs for the Skilled Worker, International draw category.
• However, for April 05, 2022 BC PNP draw the province separately shared details of the EEBC category.

BC shifts draw patterns. ITAs to rise and CRS to go lower in upcoming draws

British Columbia invites up to 178 applicants in new PNP draw. Furthermore, we have been seeing that BC is holding both general draws and targeted draws. This change comes from the rise in the demand for skilled workers for vacant job positions. As a result, this shows, that there is a greater chance of applicants getting qualified for a nomination.

In short, BC and Canada on a whole need foreign skilled workers. This is your time to claim your permanent residency in Canada.
