​​​The BC Provincial Nominee Program assesses applications and nominates candidates for permanent residence. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) makes the final decision on each application and issues permanent resident visas to successful applicants.

The program is operated by the province of British Columbia in partnership with the federal government through CIC.
