New British Columbia Skills Immigration Registration System Provincial Nominee Program announced

The BC Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) announced its new Skills Immigration Registration System (SIRS) on January 27. The new SIRS is an application intake management system which is similar conceptually to the Federal Government's Express Entry system. Interested parties who have been waiting to apply for a nomination to support their permanent residence applications due to the BC PNP intake pause will now be able to register in anticipation of invitations starting in March 2016.

A Tax Alert prepared by Egan LLP, and attached below, provides additional details.
