BC PNP in 2026: Why There Are Only 2 Streams Left for Workers

Get Matched with an Immigration Expert
Verify our license

The BC PNP used to offer a long menu of options for workers. In 2026 it has two: Skilled Worker and Health Authority. The entry-level route is gone, there are no student streams, and invitations now follow three provincial priorities rather than a general draw.

Here is what is left, and who it really works for.

What are the 2 streams?

Skilled Worker and Health Authority. Both need a full-time, indefinite job offer in British Columbia.

StreamWhat it asks for
Skilled WorkerA job offer from an eligible B.C. employer in a TEER 0 to 3 occupation, at least 2 years of full-time experience, CLB 4
Health AuthorityA job offer from a B.C. public health authority in an eligible occupation, CLB 4

Both work by registration and invitation, and both have an Express Entry BC option if you are already in the federal Express Entry pool.

What happened to the other streams?

British Columbia closed them and is not replacing them.

  • The Entry Level and Semi-Skilled stream, which covered tourism, hospitality and food processing, is officially closed. Its last invitations went out on December 10, 2024.
  • The province has said it will not launch new student streams, so there is no route built for international graduates.
  • The last round for priority technology occupations was on December 3, 2024.

If your plan depended on one of those, it is not coming back under another name.

How does B.C. decide who gets invited?

By three priorities: Care, Build and Innovate.

  • Care: health care, education, child care and veterinary occupations.
  • Build: skilled trades.
  • Innovate: occupations with a high economic impact, across sectors.

Meeting the requirements gets you into the pool. Being in one of those three groups is what gets you invited.

How many nominations does B.C. have this year?

6,254 for 2026, after the federal government added 1,000 nominations in August.

Who is this route realistic for now?

  1. Workers in health care, education, child care or the trades with a B.C. job offer.
  2. Health professionals hired by a B.C. health authority.
  3. Express Entry candidates with a B.C. offer, through the EEBC option.

If you have no job offer, or your job is TEER 4 or 5, the BC PNP has no stream for you today.

Where we come in

Immigration Pros helps you check whether your occupation and job offer fit what British Columbia is actually inviting, and compare it with other provinces before you commit. Our page on the Provincial Nominee Program covers the rest, and if you are also looking east, our guide to the Nova Scotia Nominee Program explains how that province selects.
