BC PNP Draw: 602 High Economic Impact Invitations — August 20, 2026

British Columbia held an Innovate: High Economic Impact BC PNP Skills Immigration round on August 20, 2026. The province issued 602 invitations across two published selection methods.

Draw details

337 invitations were issued using a high-wage selection factor: minimum wage of $55/hour and $110,000/year, with a job in NOC TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3.

265 invitations were issued using points, with a minimum score of 132.

Total invitations across the two High Economic Impact selections: 602.

What this means

BC used two distinct selection methods in the same invitation date, so candidates should not treat the 132-point threshold as applying to the high-wage group. BC notes that future high-economic-impact selections may use different factors.
