What are BC PNP Draws?

Draws in the BC PNP are selection rounds during which the province issues Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates in its registration pool who are most likely to meet B.C.’s economic and labour-market needs. These draws allow the province to proactively choose potential immigrants whose skills and job offers align with its priorities.

How a BC PNP Draw Works

Candidates register through the BC PNP Online system and submit detailed information about their qualifications, job offer, experience, language and region. In each draw, BC reviews the registration pool, ranks candidates, and issues ITAs to the highest-ranked applicants or those targeted for labour-market needs. After receiving an ITA, candidates may submit a full application for provincial nomination.

Types of BC PNP Draws

The BC PNP holds draws across its major pathways: Skills Immigration (for workers) and Entrepreneur Immigration (for business-starting applicants). Within Skills Immigration there are different streams (Skilled Worker, International Graduate, Entry Level & Semi-Skilled), and some draws are targeted to specific occupations, wages, regions or strategic priorities.

How often does a BC PNP draw occur?

Draws occur periodically – the number invited and frequency of draws is adjusted to maintain standard processing times and support B.C.’s priorities. Note: For 2025, the program indicates that there are no general or priority-occupation invitations planned under the Skills Immigration stream.

Why BC PNP Draws Are Important

Draws are a crucial mechanism for the province to align immigration intake with labour-market demand. Through these invitation rounds, B.C. can pick candidates whose skills, job offers and regional settlement intentions support economic growth. For applicants, a draw means gaining access to a provincial nomination — a key step to permanent residence.

When is the next BC PNP draw?

The BC PNP does not publish exact dates for upcoming draws, but based on yearly trends, they typically occur every 1–2 weeks. In 2025, however, there has been a shift toward more targeted draws, focusing on specific occupations such as healthcare, tech, and early childhood education, while general draws have slowed or paused. So far in 2025, the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) has held only two major draws under the Skills Immigration category.
