British Columbia issued a combined 772 invitations through two Innovate: High Economic Impact selections under Skills Immigration on October 29, 2026: 248 based on points and 524 based on wage and occupation criteria.
BC PNP Draw Results
| Selection method | Published criteria | Invitations |
|---|---|---|
| Points | Minimum score of 131 | 248 |
| Wage and occupation | At least CAD 49/hour and CAD 99,000/year; a job offer in TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 | 524 |
The combined total is calculated from the two official rows: 248 + 524 = 772.
Was Meeting One Wage Threshold Enough?
No. Both the hourly and annual minimums applied to this round’s wage-based selection. Describing the requirement as “CAD 49/hour or CAD 99,000/year” would be inaccurate.
Is the Score of 131 a CRS Score?
No. It is a BC PNP provincial registration score, which is different from the federal CRS score. Visit our British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program page to learn about worker pathways and requirements.
What Happens After Receiving an Invitation?
A provincial invitation is not a nomination or permanent residence approval. Invited candidates have up to 30 calendar days from the invitation date to submit a complete application through BC PNP Online. Nomination and the subsequent permanent residence assessment are separate stages.
Before submitting, check that your registration matches your job offer, wage and supporting documents, and review the deadline in your invitation.
