However, applicants who have an ITA under the BC PNP EEBC category have an added advantage. This is because to get the same you must:

  • Firstly, have a valid Express Entry (EE) profile.
  • Secondly, to do the same have applied to 1 of the EE sub-streams such as:
    • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
    • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

  • Finally have a qualifying draw score to get an ITA.

What happens when you get an ITA under the BC PNP EEBC category?

When an applicant gets an ITA under the EEBC category, they get it against their EE profile. This means that after getting an ITA when they apply for provincial nomination and receive the same against their EE profile, they will get a bonus of 600 points in the EE pool.

As a result, their chances of getting an ITA to submit a Canada PR visa application go up. This is also the reason why the Express Entry PNP pathway is gaining tremendous popularity.
