-About the BC PNP Calculator
The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) helps the province select foreign workers and international students to meet its labour market needs. The Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) is a points-based system used to rank candidates.
This BC PNP Calculator helps you estimate your SIRS score based on critical factors such as your job offer, wage, location, education, and work experience. A higher score increases your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in Canada.
How Points Are Calculated
Your total score is a combination of several factors:
- Economic Factors: Points for the skill level (TEER) of your job offer and your annual wage.
- Regional Factors: Points for working in areas outside Metro Vancouver to support regional development.
- Human Capital Factors: Points for your education level, work experience, and language proficiency.
Why Use This Tool?
Before creating your profile in the BC PNP system, it is crucial to know where you stand. This tool gives you an instant estimate, helping you identify areas where you can improve your score (e.g., by negotiating a higher wage or gaining more experience).
