The Health Authority stream gives a permanent residence pathway to people working for a health authority in B.C. If you are a physician, midwife or a nurse practitioner, you may also be eligible to apply under the Health Authority stream.

You do not need to register for this stream. If you meet eligibility requirements, you can submit an application directly to the BC PNP.

Eligibility

To qualify for this stream, you must:

• Have one of the following:
  • An indeterminate* (no defined end date), full-time job offer from a B.C. public health authority
  • A letter from a health authority or midwife practice group that confirms that you are a physician, nurse practitioner, or midwife in British Columbia
• Meet the education, training, experience and qualification requirements outlined by the public health authority

Your B.C. public health authority employer must agree to support your application before you apply. Should the B.C. health authority offering you a job decide to support your BC PNP application, they will provide you with the required documents.

This stream also has the Express Entry BC (EEBC) option.

• Your job offer does not need to be indeterminate if it is in a priority technology occupation.
