Four targeted Skills Immigration selections were published

SelectionWho it coveredMinimum scoreInvitations
Care: ChildcareEarly childhood educators only99182
Care: HealthAll priority health care occupations76143
Care: Veterinary CareAll priority veterinary care occupations90fewer than 5
Build: Construction TradesAll priority construction occupations94104

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.

The total cannot be given as one exact number

The province published exact counts for childcare, health and construction that add up to 429, 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.
