British Columbia and Manitoba are two provinces in Canada that participate in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which allows them to nominate individuals for immigration to Canada based on their specific economic and demographic needs.

British Columbia and Manitoba have both issued invitations to apply (ITAs) to immigration candidates through their respective Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP).

Candidates were invited through streams for skilled workers who had skills in key employment areas, an offer of employment in the province, or had previously studied in the province that nominated them.

• 72024 – Supervisors, motor transport and other ground transit operators; and
• 73301 – Bus drivers, subway operators and other transit operators.
