BC PNP 2026 allocation update
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has notified the province that the 2026 allocation for the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) is 5,254.
B.C. had requested an allocation of 9,000 for 2026 to help address the province's labour market needs through the BC PNP, and B.C. will continue to discuss the 2026 allocation with IRCC.
The BC PNP is determining how to best use this limited allocation and will share the 2026 priorities in the new year.
