BC PNP Reveals New Tools to Boost Immigration Transparency for 2025
British Columbia’s Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) has introduced new tools to help candidates assess their chances of selection. Those applying through the skilled immigration pool can now compare their scores against others in the system. This change comes as the province adjusts its nomination process for 2025 and beyond.
The latest updates also include detailed score breakdowns, giving applicants clearer insights into their competitiveness for an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
The BC PNP recently shifted to general draws across multiple streams, prioritising candidates with the highest economic impact. This move follows a reduction in the province’s nomination allocation for 2025. Despite this, an extra 1,254 nominations were added to the 2025 quota, increasing the total allocation for the year.
In the most recent skills immigration draw on October 2, candidates needed at least 140 points to qualify. Alternatively, they could secure an ITA with a job offer in a NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 occupation and a minimum wage of $90 per hour.
As of November 2, the BC PNP’s skills immigration streams had 10,733 active registrations. The majority of candidates scored between 100 and 109 points. The pool includes skilled workers, international graduates, and entrepreneurs, with a focus on sectors like technology, healthcare, and trades. These areas align with British Columbia’s economic priorities and labour market demands.
Looking ahead, the province expects its nomination allocation to rise again in 2026. Overall immigration levels are also set to increase in the coming years.
The BC PNP’s latest changes provide candidates with more transparency about their standing in the selection process. By releasing score breakdowns and percentile comparisons, applicants can better gauge their chances of receiving an ITA. The province’s focus on high-impact candidates reflects its strategy to meet evolving labour market needs.
