British Columbia has started inviting candidates from the construction sector


From November 16, 2023, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) prioritized 25 construction jobs to support the Homes for People plan, addressing the province's housing and infrastructure needs for the next five years. 


Specifically, workers in selected construction roles with provincial trade qualifications will receive targeted invitations to apply, ensuring immediate contributions to British Columbia's labor market. Valid qualifications include a certificate from SkilledTradesBC or a SkilledTradesBC-registered apprenticeship. Ministry staff are working with partners through the BCPNP to meet the construction sector's needs. To be eligible for targeted invitations to apply, construction workers must meet the following criteria: 

  • The job offer must be for a full-time, indefinite-term position in one of the priority construction occupations.

  • You must have a valid trade certificate issued by SkilledTradesBC or an apprenticeship registered with them.
