On August 20, 2026, the Government of British Columbia conducted new draws under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Programs (BCPNP). The province issued invitations to apply to 602 skilled candidates with the potential to create a high economic impact in the province.

The selection criteria targeted two distinct groups: 337 candidates in NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 positions earning a minimum wage of $55 per hour and $110,000 per year while working full-time with their supporting BC employer, and another 265 candidates who achieved a minimum score of 132 points.

This year, British Columbia has invited up to 4,961 candidates under the BCPNP.
