Overview
In January 2016, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) implemented the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) as a means of effectively managing skilled immigrant applications for provincial nomination. SIRS functions as a point-based system for registration and application, aiding British Columbia in selecting highly qualified workers who align with the labor market demands. By registering, individuals indicate their interest in applying to the BC PNP, though it is important to note that this registration is not an application for permanent residence. For applicants applying within British Columbia, it is necessary to possess valid full-time employment from an employer in the province. However, if your education is obtained from British Columbia, there is no requirement for a job offer. On the other hand, if your education is from outside British Columbia, a job offer becomes a mandatory requirement.
