BC PNP Draw November 13, 2026: 384+ Invitations Issued

BC PNP Draw November 13, 2026 Results

British Columbia conducted this Skills Immigration invitation round through the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP). The three exact published counts add up to 384; the veterinary-care result is displayed as <5, so the overall total remains unknown.

Who the BC PNP Skills draw targeted

The targeted groups have different occupational requirements. The asterisks in the results table refer to selection-specific certification or registry conditions; meeting a score alone does not establish eligibility.

Childcare selection

The childcare selection targeted early childhood educators under NOC 42202. To receive a targeted invitation, early childhood educators must hold a one-year or five-year ECE certificate issued by the ECE Registry.

Health-care selection

The health-care selection covered priority health occupations, including health-care managers, physicians, dentists, nurses, therapists, medical laboratory workers, nurse aides and social workers.

Candidates with a job offer classified under NOC 33102 must be registered with the BC Care Aide & Community Health Worker Registry to receive a targeted invitation.

Veterinary-care selection

The priority veterinary occupations include veterinarians (NOC 31103) and animal health technologists and veterinary technicians (NOC 32104). The invitation table specifically identifies a valid professional designation for NOC 32104.

Construction-trades selection

The construction selection covered priority occupations including welders, electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, carpenters, millwrights, heavy-duty equipment mechanics and heating, refrigeration and air-conditioning mechanics. Workers must have a valid trade certificate issued by SkilledTradesBC, or a SkilledTradesBC-registered apprenticeship, corresponding with their offered job to receive a targeted invitation.

How Scores Changed From the Previous Matching Draw

The previous matching targeted Skills Immigration selections took place on October 8, 2026, 36 days earlier. Childcare and health thresholds fell by four points, construction remained at 94, and veterinary care rose by 14 points.

These are comparisons between the same occupation groups. Both veterinary invitation figures are suppressed as <5, so neither an exact change nor an unchanged count can be established.

Next Steps for Candidates Invited in This Round

A provincial Invitation to Apply is not a nomination or approval for permanent residence. Invited candidates should check the deadline in their BC PNP Online account and prepare a complete, consistent application.

• Submit within 30 calendar days: BC PNP gives invited registrants up to 30 calendar days from the invitation date to submit a complete application through BC PNP Online and pay the applicable fee. If the deadline is missed, the invitation expires.
• Verify supporting documents: Check job-offer and employer documents, language results, educational and employment evidence, and any occupation-specific registration against the information declared in the registration. Follow the checklist for the actual stream.
• Plan the federal application after nomination: Eligible Express Entry BC nominees must accept the nomination in their Express Entry profile to receive 600 additional CRS points, subject to the additional-points cap. Non-Express Entry nominees use the separate federal provincial-nominee process. Nomination does not guarantee federal approval.

British Columbia’s 2026 Nomination Allocation

On August 18, British Columbia announced 1,000 additional nominations, bringing its 2026 allocation to 6,254. The province said it planned to use the full allocation by December 31, 2026.

That allocation counts provincial nominations, not invitations issued in a draw. The November results should not be subtracted from it to estimate remaining spaces. The selection framework includes Care, Build and Innovate; this round covered the Care and Build occupation groups.

BC PNP Draw Questions

What does <5 mean for veterinary-care invitations?

It means fewer than five invitations were reported, rather than an exact count. The public table does not disclose the number, so an exact overall total or veterinary invitation change cannot be calculated.

Can candidates qualify without the required registry or trade credential?

The applicable condition must be met. ECEs need the specified ECE Registry certificate, and NOC 33102 job offers require BC Care Aide & Community Health Worker Registry registration. For construction trades, BC PNP accepts the corresponding SkilledTradesBC trade certificate or a registered trades apprenticeship.

How often does British Columbia hold BC PNP draws?

BC PNP issues invitations periodically rather than publishing a fixed draw calendar. Check the official invitation results and your online account; a previous interval does not establish when the next draw will occur.
