BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) applicants will start to see an increase in processing times for Skills Immigration applications submitted after May 2024.
Due to fewer federal nominations available in 2024 and an increase in the number of applicants, processing times for BC PNP applications are expected to be longer until early 2025. Afterwards, processing times are anticipated to return to approximately 3 months for 80% of applications.
The BC PNP will continue to issue invitations to apply (ITAs) and receive applications during this period.
