Human capital factors

0 / 120

Full-time or part-time experience in the same NOC code as the B.C. job offer, obtained in the last 10 years, in Canada or abroad.

Additional points

With an employer established in Canada, while legally authorised to work. 12 months at 30+ hours/week, or 24 months below that. Unpaid or non-co-op student work does not count.

Same NOC code and same employer as the job offer, 30+ regular hours a week. Does not apply if the offered job is a future promotion, or if the work is unpaid.

0of 40

Highest completed level only. Partial completion does not count, and the programme must have run longer than six months.

Additional points

Awarded only on the highest level of education in the registration. A master's from abroad forfeits this even if you also studied in Canada. Language training (ESL/EFL) and Canadian distance-education programmes do not qualify.

A listed designation matching the job offer - a SkilledTradesBC certificate or registered apprenticeship for any trade, or the named college registration for dental assistants, hygienists, technicians, denturists, early childhood educators and the other occupations listed in the guide.

0of 40

Scored on the LOWEST Canadian Language Benchmark across listening, speaking, reading and writing. Take the minimum before matching.

Additional points

Both tests taken within the past two years, and CLB 4 or higher in all four competencies on each.

0of 40

Economic factors

0 / 80

The hourly rate in the job offer only. Bonuses, commission, profit-sharing, tips, overtime, housing and room-and-board are all excluded. If the offer is annual: annual wage / 52 / hours per week, where hours per week must be between 30 and 40. Full-time school teachers always divide by 30.

$/hour

0of 55

Where you regularly and physically report to work. If you work from home, your residential address decides it.

Additional points

Worth 10 either way, and they do not stack — the guide caps the pair at 10. Neither is available if the job is in Area 1.

Official sources

Two governments own two halves of this. The province scores you and nominates; only IRCC can grant permanent residence. Nothing on this site is official — where it disagrees with the pages below, they are right and this is wrong.

IRCC

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

Owns Express Entry, the CRS, and granting permanent residence. It does not publish provincial points grids.
