To apply for the Skills Immigration or Express Entry BC categories candidates must first create a profile through the BC PNP’s online portal called the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS). British Columbia introduced SIRS 2016. SIRS is a points-based system that ranks eligible candidates according to a score based on factors such as education, work experience, proficiency in English and the type of job offer they have received.
The highest-scoring candidates in each Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC category that uses SIRS are given an ITA for a provincial nomination through regular draws from their respective candidate pools.
Skilled Worker and International Graduate subcategories of the Express Entry BC are linked to the federal and allow the BC PNP to nominate skilled worker candidates with an Express Entry profile.
Express Entry candidates who receive a nomination from British Columbia will be given an additional 600 points toward their Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and are effectively guaranteed an Invitation To Apply (ITA) in a future federal Express Entry draw.
