BC PNP Is NOT Closed in 2026: Latest BC PNP Invitations and Priority Occupations

BC PNP Not Closed in 2026: Here’s What Most Immigration Consultants Aren’t Telling You

Every week we get calls from workers asking the same question:

“Is BC PNP closed?”

The answer is simple.

No. BC PNP is not closed.

In fact, British Columbia continues to issue invitations to qualified workers in healthcare, childcare, construction trades, veterinary care, and other priority occupations.

The problem is that many people hear rumours on social media, read outdated information online, or assume that because the province has become more selective, the program no longer exists.

That’s expensive misinformation.

Because while some people are sitting on the sidelines believing the opportunity is gone, others are receiving invitations and moving closer to Canadian permanent residence.

If you’re working in British Columbia or have a job offer from a BC employer, this article could save you months—or even years—of waiting.

RS Immigration in Surrey, BC helps workers and employers navigate BC PNP applications every day.

The Truth: BC PNP Is Still Issuing Invitations

British Columbia continues to select candidates who meet labour market needs and support economic growth.

The province is targeting occupations where employers are struggling to find qualified workers.

This means that if your occupation aligns with BC’s priorities, your opportunity may be stronger today than you realize.

Recent BC PNP Invitations

Date Category Minimum Score Invitations
May 14, 2026 Innovate Various Factors 437
May 6, 2026 Childcare 115 86
May 6, 2026 Health Care 108 117
May 6, 2026 Veterinary Care 100 9
May 6, 2026 Construction Trades 108 121

A closed program doesn’t issue hundreds of invitations.

A closed program doesn’t publish ongoing draws.

A closed program doesn’t actively recruit workers in critical sectors.

The facts speak for themselves.

Why Most People Miss Their Opportunity

Here’s what we’ve seen repeatedly.

Someone hears that BC PNP is “closed.”

They stop researching.

They don’t calculate their score.

They never speak to a licensed immigration professional.

Six months later, they discover they actually qualified all along.

The biggest mistake in immigration isn’t getting refused.

It’s never applying when you had a chance.

The people who win are usually not smarter.

They simply get accurate information faster than everyone else.


What You Should Do Right Now

If you’re working in healthcare, childcare, construction, education, veterinary care, or another skilled occupation, don’t make decisions based on rumours.

Find out:

  • Whether your NOC is targeted
  • Whether your employer qualifies
  • Whether your wage meets BC PNP requirements
  • Whether your score is competitive
  • Whether another immigration pathway may be available

One consultation can often identify opportunities that applicants completely overlook.
