If you want to apply for Express Entry programs, you must meet requirements of both Express Entry and BC PNP.

If you want to apply skills immigration, you only need to meet the requirements of BC PNP itself.

If i'm getting the PNP recommendation, does that means i'm entering the express entry process?
