Know everything about British Columbia PNP’s Tech Pilot program
by XIPHIAS IMMIGRATION migration executiveBritish Columbia has decided to extend the
Tech Pilot program under BCPNP till June 2021. This is to provide an edge for
the BC employers to employ the right personnel with right skill set to help
them address skill shortage they face. British Columbia strongly believes that
the economy of British Columbia can be safe secure and progressive in nature,
only when there is a strong working and collaborative set of people in the
province. With the intention to attract the right individuals in technology,
British Columbia started the Tech Pilot program under British
Columbia Provincial Nominee Program.
British Columbia intends to build a strong
tech force to address their requirements. In the same lines, BC provides
training for the students and also creates job opportunities as would be
required. BC has been largely successful in their pursuit of skilled
professionals in the IT field through this project. The BC tech pilot program
expedites the process. It’s a fast track program ensuring that the qualifying
candidates would earn their Canada Permanent
Residency.
British Columbia has declared 29 job
opportunities under the Tech Pilot program. Aspirants looking to relocate to BC
as a tech skilled professional will register themselves under the program. The
BC employers will have access to these aspirants. There is a dedicated team of
migration authorities appointed by BCPNP for this program. Most of the
applications under this category will be processed in 2 to 3 months. This is
much faster than any of the Canada
Skilled Immigration programs.
It requires that the employers choosing
their candidates provide a job offer for a minimum of 365 days. For the
applicant to receive an “Invitation to Apply”, both the employer and employee
should comply with the regulations issued under this program. The job offer
should be a full-time opportunity. This is unique since the province itself
does not bind the aspirant to stay in the province for indeterminate period of
time. This does not mean that the aspirant cannot hold a job offer longer than
the period. This program will run alongside the other BCPNP programs. The
program is unique in comparison to other Provincial
Nominee Programs.

step falls into place.
In 2021, many provinces in Canada have come
up with programs to enhance their workforce keeping in mind the current
trends. Their main aim is to attract the
right personnel who could actively contribute to the growth of the province. Newfoundland
and Labrador Provincial nominee program is one such program that has
shifted its focus to attracting the right economic contributors into the
province.
In the long run, it is always safe to work
with right immigration consultancy firm who are also registered
with the ICCRC. Such registered firms will have complete knowledge about
the immigrations in Canada. Canada has more than 70 immigration pathways and
each of which is a solution for different category of needs. The biggest
turning point for successful navigation is the kind of association the aspirant
undertakes to fulfill his or her dreams.
