SIRS stands for Skills Immigration Registration System, which is a points-based system used by the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) to rank candidates in the Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC categories. The SIRS system is used to determine which candidates will receive an invitation to apply for a nomination from the BC PNP.
Under the SIRS system, candidates are assessed based on various factors such as age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and other criteria. Candidates who score the highest points are issued invitations to apply for nomination through the BC PNP.
The SIRS system is intended to ensure that the selection process is transparent, efficient, and fair and that candidates who are most likely to succeed in British Columbia’s labor market are selected.
Candidates who are interested in applying for the Skills Immigration or Express Entry BC categories of the BC PNP must first register with the SIRS system and create a profile. Once the profile is created, candidates are assigned a score based on their qualifications and experience and are entered into a pool of candidates. Periodically, the BC PNP issues invitations to apply to the highest-scoring candidates in the pool.
It’s important to note that meeting the eligibility requirements for the Skills Immigration or Express Entry BC categories does not guarantee an invitation to apply for nomination through the BC PNP. The SIRS system is used to assess candidates and select those who are most likely to succeed in British Columbia’s labor market.
