British Columbia held four Skills Immigration selections on November 13, 2026: 153 childcare, 103 health, fewer than five veterinary-care and 128 construction invitations.

Four targeted Skills Immigration selections were published

Care: ChildcareEarly childhood educators only95153
Care: HealthAll priority health care occupations72103
Care: Veterinary CareAll priority veterinary care occupations100fewer than 5
Build: Construction TradesAll priority construction occupations94128

For the veterinary care selection, the province lists an additional selection factor: candidates in NOC 32104 (animal health technologists and veterinary technicians) needed a valid professional designation.

In the previous round of these selections, on October 8, 2026, the minimum scores were 99 for childcare, 76 for health, 86 for veterinary care and 94 for construction.

The total cannot be given as one exact number

The province published exact counts for childcare, health and construction that add up to 384, but reported veterinary care only as fewer than five. This article therefore does not estimate the veterinary figure or state an exact overall total.

Each minimum score is a BC PNP registration score for the named selection. It is not a federal Express Entry CRS score, and a score from one occupational group cannot be compared with another group's.

An invitation starts the provincial application stage

Candidates also had to meet the occupation-specific selection factors and the requirements of the Skills Immigration stream. An invitation lets the selected registrant apply to the BC PNP. The applicant must still submit a complete application on time and prove the job offer, occupation, wage, work experience, status and all other applicable requirements.
