B.C. targets care and construction as NL issues 131 invitations

B.C. targets four care and construction groups

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program published four completed Skills Immigration selections dated October 8, 2026. The province reported 86 childcare invitations at a minimum registration score of 99, 82 health invitations at 76, fewer than five veterinary-care invitations at 86, and 115 construction-trades invitations at 94.

The childcare selection was limited to early childhood educators. The health and construction selections covered the province's published priority occupations. Veterinary-care candidates in NOC 32104—animal health technologists and veterinary technicians—also required a valid professional designation.

The B.C. thresholds are provincial scores—not CRS

The 99, 76, 86 and 94 thresholds are BC PNP registration scores. They are not federal Comprehensive Ranking System scores. An invitation also does not by itself confirm nomination or permanent residence; the applicant must satisfy every requirement for the applicable provincial stream.

Newfoundland and Labrador issues 131 invitations

Newfoundland and Labrador published a new invitation batch dated October 9, 2026. The province issued 130 invitations through the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program and one invitation through the Atlantic Immigration Program, for a total of 131.

The official update did not publish a numerical minimum score or other cut-off for this batch.

Two Alberta results are added to the record

Alberta's official draw table also contains two completed results that were not yet recorded on Ghasedak. On October 2, the Alberta Opportunity Stream issued 123 invitations at a minimum Worker Expression of Interest score of 54. On September 29, the Alberta Express Entry Stream's Priority Sectors (General) pathway issued 200 invitations at a minimum Worker EOI score of 64.

These are Alberta Worker EOI thresholds, not federal CRS scores. The province evaluates the named pathway requirements and provincial priorities in addition to the published score.
