BC PNP Entrepreneur Draw: Base 10, Regional <5 — September 22, 2026
British Columbia published a new BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration invitation round on September 22, 2026. The province issued invitations in both the Base and Regional entrepreneur streams, with a minimum score of 119 in each stream.
Draw details
Entrepreneur Immigration — Base: 10 invitations; minimum score 119.
Entrepreneur Immigration — Regional: fewer than 5 invitations; minimum score 119.
Because WelcomeBC reports the Regional invitation count as “<5,” the exact combined number of invitations is not published and should not be inferred.
What changed from the previous entrepreneur round
On August 25, 2026, B.C. issued 11 Base invitations and 5 Regional invitations, with a minimum score of 116 in both streams. The September 22 minimum score therefore increased by 3 points in both streams, while the published invitation volume was lower in Base and not stated exactly for Regional.
What this means
This is an Entrepreneur Immigration round, not a Skills Immigration draw. Entrepreneur scores and invitation volumes should therefore be assessed separately from worker-selection rounds. Recent entrepreneur selections have remained small-volume and periodic, but B.C. does not guarantee future timing, scores or selection criteria.
