British Columbia has recently released the last skilled immigration draw for the month of October. There is no doubt that British Columbia is one of the largest provinces of Canada, and thousands of foreign candidates, including Indians, apply for Canada PR every month. So, the immigration authority of Canada has finally released the last BC PNP Draw of the month. 

IRCC has surprised everyone by issuing 208 Invitations to apply for the Skilled Immigration Stream. With the fresh British Columbia PNP Draw, they have invited candidates from these industries:

General which includes Tech Industry

Childcare which includes Early Childhood educators and assistants

Healthcare and,

Other Priority Occupations according to the Canadian Labor Market demand

If you have submitted an expression of interest in getting permanent residency in Canada through the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program you should check the below table to make sure that you are eligible to apply for Canada PR in the latest round of invitations.

In the above table, you can see the exact number of ITAs for each category along with the minimum CRS points requirements. If you are following all the BC PNP Draws, you must have noticed that IRCC has not increased the Cutoff for a long time, and the total number of invitations is increasing. It means that the requirement for experienced people from the above fields has increased. 

In case, you have not followed the previous draws, you may read the coming table where I have mentioned some major highlights from the previous BC PNP Draws.
