Data sources

All draw data on this site is transcribed from the Government of British Columbia's official invitations to apply page on WelcomeBC.

That page is the authoritative source for BC PNP draw dates, categories, minimum scores and invitation counts, and for the registration pool distribution. Always confirm any figure here against it before acting on it.

The scoring grid

The calculator scores against Part 8 of the BC PNP Skills Immigration Program Guide — the same five factors, the same point values, transcribed row for row. The edition in use is the one effective 10 June 2026.

BC revises that guide periodically, and a revision can change what a factor is worth. A score worked out here is an arithmetic result, not a decision: the BC PNP verifies every figure you declare against the documents in your application.

Announcements

The news page lists BC PNP announcements as WelcomeBC publishes them — each entry's date and headline, word for word. Nothing is summarised or interpreted, and every item links back to the original.
