The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) conducted a Skill Immigration draw on May 14, 2026, issuing a total of 640 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) across four streams.
The draw included two Innovate: High Economic Impact streams — one for high-earning professionals earning at least $59/hour or $120,000/year in NOC 0, 1, 2, or 3 occupations (225 invites, no minimum score), and one points-based stream with a minimum score of 135 (212 invites).
The Care: Childcare stream invited 86 Early Childhood Educators (NOC 42202) with a minimum score of 115, while the Care: Health stream issued 117 invitations to priority healthcare workers with a minimum score of 108.
What this means for applicants: High-earning professionals in management, tech, and skilled trades have a strong opportunity through the Innovate streams. Healthcare and childcare workers should ensure their BC PNP profiles are active and updated to benefit from these consistently open Care streams.
