British Columbia Tech Pilot Program

The Tech Pilot Program of British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) allows the province to attract and retain international talents for the growth of its technology sector. British Columbia introduced the Tech Pilot program in 2017 as demand for skilled worker in the province’s tech sector was increasing faster than supply.
