The BC PNP Tech Program was created in response to a labor market evaluation that highlighted the technology sector’s greatest obstacle: the need for skilled talent in British Columbia. Initially launched as a pilot project in May 2017, the program’s success led to its permanent establishment. Its purpose is to enable technology firms in British Columbia to attract and select highly skilled professionals from overseas when there is a scarcity of qualified individuals locally.
The BC PNP program has specific eligibility criteria, particularly for the BC PNP Tech stream, which provides a fast-track immigration route for foreign students and in-demand tech professionals.
