Latest BC PNP draws

The latest BC PNP draw was on September 24, 2026, in 2 Skills Immigration rounds: 426 invitations with no minimum score and 288 invitations at a minimum score of 131. The draw before it was on September 22, 2026 (Entrepreneur Immigration). These figures come from WelcomeBC, checked on September 26, 2026.

No one knows the date in advance: BC publishes no draw schedule. In the rows on this page, BC PNP held draws on 16 dates between May 6, 2026 and September 24, 2026, and the gap between draw dates ran from 2 to 19 days. That is past pace, not a forecast. New rounds appear first on WelcomeBC.

It changes every round and differs by category. In the Skills Immigration rounds on this page, minimums ran from 50 to 136 out of BC’s 200 points: Care 68 to 115, Build 88 to 108, and Innovate 131 to 136. It is the lowest score among the people invited that day, not a pass mark, and it is not a CRS score.

They are the priority categories BC uses to target its Skills Immigration rounds. In the rows on this page they covered Care (Childcare, Health, Veterinary Care, and Education), Build (Construction Trades), and Innovate (High Economic Impact). Since May 6, 2026, BC held 16 Care, 5 Build, and 10 Innovate rounds, plus 2 other rounds. A score in one category says nothing about another.

Those rounds invite by wage instead of by score. In some Innovate rounds, BC invited people whose job in a NOC TEER 0 to 3 occupation paid at least a set wage, with no minimum score. The latest, on September 24, 2026, set the wage at $52 an hour and $105,000 a year, with 426 invitations. In the rows on this page, the hourly threshold moved from $62 to $52.

It is a separate draw for BC’s Entrepreneur Immigration registrations, scored on their own 200-point scale. The latest, on September 22, 2026, gave 10 invitations in the Base category at a minimum score of 119 and fewer than 5 invitations in the Regional category at a minimum score of 119. In the rows on this page, BC held these draws on 5 dates, with minimums from 113 to 119.

It depends on the stream. A nomination from a stream linked to Express Entry adds 600 CRS points once it is in your profile, and IRCC then invites nominees in rounds held only for them: 18 in 2026, with cutoffs from 697 to 805. A nomination from a base stream leads to a permanent residence application made directly to IRCC. An IRCC officer makes the final decision.
