Today, we bring you some provincial nominee draws updates. First, let’s talk about the freshly out British Columbia PNP draws. A total of 4 draws were conducted, one of them general, while the others targeting specific occupations.
And secondly, we’ll talk about Alberta, the Canadian province that invited 212 candidates over the course of three draws conducted on consecutive days- 20, 21, and 22 June.
If there have been so many draws being conducted, then that must mean there’s a good amount of jobs available in Canada. Otherwise, why would the provinces start inviting immigrants, right? And if there are such vacancies, then there must be several jobs for Indians abroad, right? Well, this might be a good time to find a job in Canada and settle down there.
Now, shall we talk a bit more about the draws?
