One can apply for permanent residence in Canada through the provincial nominee program of British Columbia by creating an online profile for the BC PNP and filling up the registration form. The candidates are then assessed by the BC PNP authorities and scores are awarded to them based on various factors such as education and work experience. Those with good scores enter into the selection pool of BC PNP. The candidates who were sent Invitations to Apply will receive 600 additional scores while applying for permanent residence if their applications are accepted.
