The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Tech Pilot has made some crucial changes to its program. In February 2020, the province consecutively held three immigration draws and also announced that the province will stop posting the scores that guarantee an Invitation to Apply (ITA) to applicants applying through any of the BC PNP streams. The province said that applicants can check the required scores by reviewing the draws conducted in every week.
As a popular Canada PNP program, the province of British Columbia has sent out a total of 1,096 invitations to candidates under both BC Express Entry and Skills Immigration categories. In February 2020 alone, British Columbia 221 ITAs were issued to Tech Pilot applicants.
Previously, the province of British Columbia would post a guaranteed invitation score for each category to depict the minimum points that applicants need to secure an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Now, as of February 19, 2020, candidates whose scores are above the certain points threshold in the SIRS will no longer be guaranteed an ITA for the provincial nomination.

A statement by the BCPNP officials said that “In the past, a guaranteed invitation score for each category was posted (subject to change) to illustrate the minimum points that an individual would need to be guaranteed an invitation to apply”.
“The points were based on a sampling of pre-2016 BC PNP applications”.
