How to Apply


Before You Apply

Carefully follow these steps:

Remember that the employer and the nominee applicant must submit a joint application.

You do not have to use a representative to apply to the BC PNP. The program is designed for you to be able to complete the application on your own. If you do choose to use a representative, they must meet the requirements for authorized representatives.

Applications for nominee applicants who have a valid work permit should be submitted at least 90 days before that work permit expires.

Steps

  1. Before submitting an application, make sure all the necessary forms have been completed and signed in the correct places. We require photocopies of all completed Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) documents. Do not send the completed originals to CIC until you have been notified by BC PNP. Attach all relevant supporting documentation and remember to include the processing fee. Any monies such as cheques or money orders should be made out to “MINISTER OF FINANCE”. The application checklist (PDF - 665 KB) will help you assemble the application package.

  2. Submit the application package by mail or courier to the address below. (We are unable to accept applications by fax or email):

    BC Provincial Nominee Program Office
    800 - 360 West Georgia Street
    Vancouver, B.C. V6B 6B2
    Canada

    Tel: (604) 775-2227
    Fax: (604) 660-4092
    E-mail: PNPInfo@gov.bc.ca

    If the application package is complete and everything is in order we will issue an official receipt and file number.

  3. If the application package is incomplete or does not include the correct processing fee we will not create a file. We will return the application along with the fee amount we received. You can resubmit your application when you have made corrections or submitted the correct amount.
