What is the BC PNP Tech Pilot?

The BC PNP Tech Pilot is a dedicated program under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) aimed at attracting skilled workers to the technology sector in British Columbia. This program is designed to support the province’s thriving tech industry by providing a fast-track immigration pathway for qualified tech workers. The Tech Pilot offers an opportunity for individuals with the required skills and experience in high-demand tech occupations to receive a provincial nomination, which helps expedite their application for permanent residency in Canada.

Who is Eligible for the BC PNP Tech Pilot?

To be eligible for the BC PNP Tech Pilot, candidates must meet certain criteria:

1. Job Offer in a Tech Occupation: Applicants must have a valid, full-time, permanent job offer from a BC employer in one of the 29 eligible tech occupations. These jobs typically fall under National Occupational Classification (NOC) categories 0, A, or B and include positions such as software engineers, computer programmers, web designers, and information systems analysts.
2. Work Experience: Candidates must have the necessary work experience in their tech field, typically at least one year, to demonstrate their ability to succeed in the job.
3. Language Proficiency: Applicants need to meet the language proficiency requirements depending on the role and the specific federal immigration program they are applying under.
4. Intention to Live in BC: Candidates must demonstrate an intention to live and work in British Columbia, contributing to the growth of the province's tech sector.
