British Columbia invites applicants in the first program draw, i.e., on December 10, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) held a new skills immigration invitation round. 

The draw targeted hundreds of applicants that the province believes will create a high economic impact. 

Draw Results 

On December 10, 2025, the BC PNP issued 410 invitations to apply (ITAs). 

Applicants across all of British Columbia’s skills immigration streams were invited based on either their: 

  • Rankings according to the province’s scoring system
  • Ability to secure high-wage employment in the province 

The majority of invitations went to high-scoring applicants in the province’s skilled immigration pool. 

Date Stream Minimum Requirement Number Of Invitations 
December 10, 2025 High-wage + skilled job offer $87/hour ($170,000/year) + job offer in NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 96 
December 10, 2025 Points-based 138 points 314 

BC PNP notes that future high-impact ITAs may be based on different factors, and that invitations are issued only to registrations that were qualified before the draw date. 

This was British Columbia’s first Skills Immigration draw in December, following a two-month pause since the previous round on October 2. To date, the province has conducted only three Skills Immigration draws in 2025.

How Does The BC PNP Choose ‘High Economic Impact’ Invitations? 

Under its Skills Immigration system, the BC PNP might invite applicants who are most likely to meet the province’s economic and labour market needs using one or more attributes, including education, language skills, occupation, work experience, wage, and/or skill level of job offer, intent to live in a specific region, and strategic priorities.

The program guide also states that invitations might be targeted to support government priorities (like specific business sectors and regional immigration), and that the BC PNP can change how it selects registrants without prior notice.
