BC PNP Update – October 2, 2025

 

The BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) has announced that it has been allocated an additional 1,254 nominations for 2025 from the federal government.

 

This increase is relatively modest and will not allow for large-scale invitations.

 

In line with the announcement made on April 14, the additional nominations will be directed toward priority groups within BC, namely healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, and candidates who can deliver significant economic impact.

 

Furthermore, part of this allocation will be used to process some of the 2,240 pending applications submitted in 2024 under the International Post-Graduate (IPG) stream.

 

The Province concluded the update by reiterating that it continues to request further increases to its PNP quota from the federal government.

No More Hiring Cap for Hospitality & Trucking (SINP news)

 

The Government of Canada has retroactively lifted the hiring cap that applied to the Hospitality (NAICS 72) and Trucking (NAICS 484) industries, effective March 27, 2025.

 

From now on, employers in these two industries can hire foreign workers without being restricted by hiring limits, ensuring greater flexibility in securing the workforce they need.

 

As mentioned above, this measure is retroactive, which means that employers whose Certificate of Registration (COR) renewal was denied due to the hiring cap will now have another opportunity.

 

👉 This is a golden opportunity for employers struggling with labor shortages.

👉 You can now legally hire skilled foreign workers right away.

 

However, please note that employers in these industries (hospitality, food services, and trucking) must still meet the minimum annual revenue requirement, which is based on the number of full-time employees. (Two part-time employees are considered equivalent to one full-time employee.)

 

Consult with the experts at GS Consulting to receive tailored guidance. GS Consulting is dedicated to providing valuable insights and direction for your Canadian immigration journey.

✨ LMIA Approved: A Success Story! ✨

 

Among the LMIA streams, the Caregiver category tends to be processed relatively faster than others.

 

✅ Submission: July 25, 2025

✅ Result: September 17, 2025 (Total: 8 weeks)

✅ Position: Home Child Care Provider – NOC 44100

✅ Location: Langley, BC

 

LMIA assessments are becoming increasingly strict. Therefore, throughout the process, it is essential to prepare in multiple ways: designing the job advertisement, carefully drafting its content, choosing the right media, preparing the LMIA application itself, and anticipating the officer’s interview. All of these must be logically consistent. Above all, the candidate’s work experience and education must support the case.

 

For this case as well, GS thoroughly reviewed all of these comprehensive factors, secured the necessary supporting evidence, and submitted the application with confidence that we could meet the government’s heightened standards.

 

The more difficult and demanding the times, the more important it becomes to choose the right immigration firm.

 

At GS Consulting, we continue to dedicate ourselves to providing systematic and professional total solutions. ☎️

📢 Express Entry Draw Held on Sep 18

 

On September 18, an Express Entry draw for the Trade Category was held.

 

📌 Key details of this draw:

September 18 (Trade Category)

• ✅ Cut-off score: 505

• ✅ Number of ITAs issued: 1,250

 

This was the first Trade Category draw in 2025. The previous draw for this occupational group was on October 23, 2024, when the CRS cut-off was much lower at 433. A cut-off of 505 is considered quite high for Trade Category candidates, yet one of GS’s clients successfully received an ITA with a CRS score of 510.

 

The main reason for the higher CRS cut-off this time is that a significant gap between draws allowed more candidates to accumulate in the pool.

 

This draw marks the sixth Express Entry draw just in September. So far in 2025, IRCC has issued a total of 65,489 ITAs through the Express Entry system.

 

This year, draws have primarily focused on PNP-specific rounds, with the remainder allocated to CEC, French-language proficiency candidates, and priority occupational categories under Express Entry.

 

Breakdown of draw types in the first half of 2025:

• PNP: 17 rounds

• CEC: 9 rounds

• French proficiency: 5 rounds

• Healthcare and Social Services: 4 rounds

• Education: 2 rounds

• Trades: 1 round

 

According to recent government news, IRCC expects to issue 3,300 ITAs to Trade Category candidates in 2025. This means an additional 2,050 ITAs could still be issued in this category by year’s end.

 

However, as today’s draw shows, if the intervals between category-specific draws are long, CRS cut-offs inevitably rise, even if more ITAs are issued. Therefore, how quickly the remaining ~2,000 ITAs for the Trade Category are distributed will determine whether candidates can realistically expect more attainable cut-off scores.

 

GS Consulting will continue to provide accurate updates on Express Entry and Canadian immigration.

🎉 Another GS Client Becomes a Canadian Permanent Resident!

 

In times like these, when immigration is becoming more difficult, hearing good news like this is truly uplifting.

A GS client has received their final letter.
Our heartfelt congratulations! 🎉

This was a spousal sponsorship immigration case.

Details are as follows:

This case was submitted from within Canada.

 

Process Timeline

• PR application submitted: August 2, 2024
• First-stage approval (sponsor eligibility approved): September 9, 2024 (5.5 weeks later)
• PR portal letter received: August 22, 2025 (total of 13 months after submission)

 

It is true that compared to last year, spousal sponsorship applications are taking longer to process. However, in these times when immigrating on your own is especially difficult, being able to apply through spousal sponsorship can be considered a real blessing.

 

It should be noted that this case has not yet reached the stage of final PR approval. From this point, it may take as little as 3–5 days, or typically around 6–8 weeks, to receive the eCOPR, which represents the official permanent residency.

 

That said, receiving the PR Portal letter means there will be no further substantive review. While the wait may feel long, at this stage permanent residency is essentially assured—just a matter of time.

 

When it comes to immigration, the earlier you start, the better. Yesterday was easier than today, and today will be easier than tomorrow. If you are planning for Canadian immigration, the best decision is to act now before more time passes.

 

At GS Consulting, we continue to do our very best every day to provide structured, professional, and comprehensive immigration solutions. ☎️
