Oris Visas British Columbia issues 370 invitations in PNP draws

B.C. has now issued just under 5,000 invitations to apply for permanent residence since the beginning of the year. British Columbia invited 370 immigration candidates in two Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws held May 25. B.C. has been conducting two separate rounds of invitations under its PNP program since February. There has been a general draw and a second draw targeting retail and wholesale trade managers as well as restaurant and foodservice managers. There is a high number of people registered in the BC PNP Skills Immigration Registration System with these two occupations, and the province is seeking to balance the needs in all sectors of the provincial labour market.
