2016年，BC省劳动力市场将出现严重劳力短缺

事实：

自从2001年，26,000多技术移民和投资移民通过BCPNP省提名项目移居到BC省。

根据省政府官方预测，到2016年，BC的劳动力市场将出现严重劳力短缺，即退休离职的人员将多于进入劳动岗位的年轻人。因而BCPNP办公室急需对申请流程进行改革，尽快和有效的从海外引进新的生力军。

Quick Facts:

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is the Province’s only direct economic immigration tool for bringing in new British Columbians. It supports B.C.’s economic growth by allowing the province to nominate high-demand skilled workers and investment-ready entrepreneurs for permanent residency.

Since the 2001 inception of the program, more than 26,000 workers and entrepreneurs have been attracted to the province through the PNP.

Forces driving changes to the PNP include:

Economic growth and demographics

In 2016, B.C. hits a tipping point – fewer young people will enter the workforce than older people leaving it – B.C. needs workers.

A diverse, strong and growing economy like B.C.’s needs high-demand skilled workers to fill labour market gaps to keep our economy moving forward. And the whole province benefits from investment-ready entrepreneurs who support innovation and help grow family supporting jobs.

Recent changes to the federal government’s immigration programs, including the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the Immigrant Investor Program have increased the number of applications to the B.C. PNP.

The PNP redesign will update program criteria and put in place a streamlined PNP application process to help B.C. attract the skilled workers and qualified entrepreneurs we need to grow a diverse and strong economy.
