All\u00a0ITAs issued on November 10 were issued to candidates in categories under the\u00a0BC PNP Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS), a dynamic intake management system that allows\u00a0the province\u00a0to prioritize candidates for provincial nomination. As it is a points-based system, candidates receive a score based on the information\u00a0they provide upon registration.\u00a0This\u00a0score will determine whether a candidate\u00a0receives an\u00a0ITA when a draw is performed.<\/p>\n
Certain BC PNP categories that operate under the SIRS are aligned with the federal Express Entry immigration selection system, while applications made to certain other categories are processed entirely outside the Express Entry system. These latter categories are collectively known as ‘base’ categories, as opposed to ‘enhanced’ categories that are aligned with Express Entry.<\/p>\n
On\u00a0November 10, 2016, the BC PNP issued ITAs across the following categories. Further details on these categories are available below the table.<\/p>\n
