FAQ
​
I’m working in Canada and my current work permit is about to expire. Can I renew my work permit while my PNP application is processed?

  • Yes. You may be eligible for a bridging open work permit. If you are eligible, this permit can let you keep working while you wait for a final decision on your permanent residence application.

​

What is the Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS)?

  • SIRS is a new points-based intake management system that will allow B.C. to select the highest impact candidates, not just first in line, ensuring strong outcomes for the province.

  • The system functions as an Expression of Interest – an online registration allows candidates to express an interest to apply to the BC PNP.

  • As it is a points-based system, you will receive a score based on the information you provide.

  • Your registration score will determine whether you will receive an invitation to apply under the BC PNP Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC streams.
