Webinar—BC Provincial Nominee Program Updates 2026

The BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) is an economic immigration program that enables the province to select and nominate prospective immigrants who can help grow BC’s economy. Applicants nominated by the BC PNP can apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for permanent residence for themselves and their families.

This session provides an overview of the BC PNP, with a particular focus on its renewed priority of attracting top talent and addressing critical labour market needs, guided by three core objectives: Care, Build, and Innovate.

Participants will hear about the current immigration context in Canada and BC, along with the updated BC PNP priorities and the strategic shift toward qualified professionals in healthcare, education and childcare, veterinary care, construction and trades, as well as candidates who will create high economic impact in BC. The session will also walk through the BC PNP process, from initial registration and invitation to final provincial nomination.
