June 27, 2018 – The BC PNP Tech Pilot has been extended for another year to give British Columbia technology companies continued fast access to in-demand skilled workers.

Job offer requirements have been relaxed as part of the extension, with effect from June 26, 2018.

Candidates now only require a one-year full time job offer to qualify for permanent residence.

Previously, a permanent full-time job offer was needed for British Columbia immigration.

The change was made to support the project-based nature of the technology industry.

The list of target occupations has also been reduced from 32 to 29. Officials want to focus on the positions most filled using the pilot in the last 12 months.
