BC PNP
British Columbia · Skills ImmigrationCare and construction minimums held on 8 October; the wage floor is at its lowest this year
British Columbia selects by category, so one draw date produces several minimum scores. On 8 October health (76), childcare (99) and construction (94) all repeated their 10 September minimums, after health had fallen from 108 in May. The High Economic Impact lane is selected on a wage floor, not points, and BC publishes no score for it: the floor has fallen in three straight rounds, from $62 an hour in June to $52 on 24 September.

Questions people ask
When is the next BC PNP draw?
It is not announced in advance. British Columbia publishes no draw schedule and gives no advance notice, so any date or score you see predicted for the next round is a guess. This page records rounds after they happen, read from the province's own page.
What was the minimum score in the latest BC PNP draw?
99 in Childcare, 76 in Health, 86 in Veterinary Care and 94 in Construction Trades, on 8 October 2026. A minimum applies to one category in one round. It moves every round and is not a target for the next one.
Can I compare BC PNP draw scores with other provinces?
No. The BC PNP grid is scored out of 200, and every province uses its own grid and its own total, so a minimum of 80 means something different in each. Score yourself on the BC PNP calculator, which uses the grid British Columbia published.
Federal Express Entry rounds and every other province are on the draws page. Also: OINP draws and AAIP draws.
