Recently, many provinces in Canada have been sending out invitations for immigrants. Ontario, British Columbia (B.C.), Prince Edward Island (PEI), and Manitoba have all issued provincial immigration invitations through their Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) in the last few weeks. Quebec has also announced who got picked.

Ontario’s program for newcomers, the OINP, sent out notices to over 2,500 folks on March 1st. These notices were in their “Skilled Trades” program, and Ontario was looking for people with specific skills. Everyone who got a notice from the OINP on March 1st scored between 350 and 424 for the points system used by Canada to rank newcomers.

B.C. has been busy inviting folks since February 16th. They started with a general draw on February 21st, followed by assorted draws for different jobs within their program for skilled workers and graduates. This setup includes an option for folks already in Canada’s Express Entry program.

The BCPNP doled out 69 invitations on February 21st. These invitations went to people in five categories, most of whom needed a score of at least 126, except in the “Entry Level and Semi-Skilled” group, who only needed a 99. The categories were skilled worker with an EEBC option, international graduate with an EEBC option, international graduate, entry-level, skilled worker, and semi-skilled.

On top of the February 21st invites, B.C. offered at least 143 more invitations through their PNP program. These invitations went to people in specific jobs. Thirty-two invitations went to construction workers having a minimum score of 75, 41 invitations went to healthcare workers having a minimum score of 60, 70 invitations went to childcare workers having a minimum score of 60, and less than five invitations went to veterinary workers having a minimum score of 60.

On February 27th, the BCPNP gave out invitations in another draw, this time for folks in their “Skilled Worker: International Graduate Stream,” including the EEBC folks. The invitations included 41 for healthcare workers, with a minimum score of 65; less than five for veterinary workers, a minimum score of 65; 12 for construction workers, a minimum score of 80; 90 for folks in “tech” jobs, a minimum score of 108; and finally, 45 for childcare workers, a minimum score of 65.
