              A coveted provincial nomination effectively guarantees selection under the Canada Express Entry System, worth 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points.

              The B.C. PNP publishes the scores immigrants need to guarantee an invitation for Canada immigration under its programs.

              The score needed for an international graduate is 30 points below a skilled worker under both the Canada Express Entry and provincial stream.

              For entry-level and semi-skilled workers, that score is lower again.
