British Columbia Points Calculator
British Columbia Points Calculator, also known as SIRS System is designed by the Immigration Department of BCPNP to examine the eligibility of applicants who want to immigrate and settle in British Columbia province.
To apply under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), the province caters three ways for the applicants to obtain permanent residency status. You can choose any of the ways depending on your NOC skill level, type of profession or International Student. Though, some categories under BCPNP don’t require work experience. You need to make sure that your occupation is mentioned on the British Columbia Occupation List.
