BC PNP Tech Pilot
BC PNP Tech Pilot extended to June 2021
BC tech employers will be able to recruit and retain international talent at least until June 2021, since The BC PNP Tech Pilot has been extended.
Currently tech employment in BC is at its highest level ever recorded, which helps with the economic growth in the province. The demand for talent in BC’s tech sector is increasing very fast. The province of British Columbia is developing the highest quality local talent. Students are introdused to tech earlier, also tech training and education in post-secondary institutions are expanding, and finally work experience opportunities are being created in the province.
Beyond using the skills and talent of BC workers, companies need to be able to attract skilled workers from around the world. Tech entrepreneurs and skilled workers from other countries can help grow BC’s technology sector, leading to more jobs for British Columbians.
In support of these priorities, a pilot under the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP Tech Pilot) works to ensure the technology sector can attract and retain the talent it needs to be sustained and to grow the sector further.
The BC PNP Tech Pilot helps employers to address their talent needs by providing a fast-tracked, permanent immigration pathway for in-demand foreign workers and international students.
