BC PNP updated news – I.G stream

 

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) will issue the final invitations to apply (ITAs) for the International Graduate (IG) stream on November 26, 2024, after which the stream will close. Registrants in the IG pool who are not invited will be removed. The launch date for the new student streams will be announced soon.

 

Starting January 2025, British Columbia (B.C.) will update its Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) to provide clearer pathways and better outcomes for international workers. Key updates include new graduate streams, higher language proficiency requirements, and measures to ensure fairness and protect applicants from exploitation.

 

Key Updates:

1. New Graduate Streams
• The current International Graduate and Post-Graduate streams will be replaced with three new streams:
• Bachelor’s Stream: For graduates with a bachelor’s degree and an indeterminate full-time job offer.
• Master’s Stream: For master’s graduates with a minimum one-year skilled full-time job offer.
• Doctorate Stream: For doctoral graduates or PhD candidates applying directly.
• Graduates of diploma or certificate programs can still apply through other BC PNP streams.
2. Language Proficiency Requirements
• Minimum language levels will increase program-wide, with CLB 8 planned for the new graduate streams.
• The Health Authority stream remains unchanged.

Why Are Updates Needed?

• Clarity and Protection: Clearer criteria will help applicants prepare and reduce exploitation by bad actors misrepresenting the program as an "easy pathway" to permanent residency.
• Economic Contribution: Higher education and language skills improve job stability, earnings, and retention in B.C.’s priority industries.
• Student Safeguards: Collaboration with education authorities will protect international students from predatory practices.

These changes aim to align the program with labor market needs and enhance the economic success of newcomers.
