British Columbia invited 342 workers to apply for provincial nomination on June 3, 2026, through a sector-specific draw under the BC Provincial Nominee Program. The draw targeted candidates in healthcare, childcare, construction, and tech occupations, with minimum scores ranging from 60 to 105 points depending on the stream.

This marks the province's continued focus on filling labour shortages in essential sectors through targeted immigration. BC has conducted sector-specific draws regularly since 2022, prioritizing occupations where employers report persistent vacancies. The June 3 draw follows a similar pattern to recent BC PNP selections, which have consistently invited between 300 and 400 candidates per week.

The 342 invitations were distributed across BC PNP's Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC streams. Healthcare workers required a minimum score of 60 points in the skilled worker category, while construction workers needed 80 points. Tech occupations saw the highest threshold at 105 points, reflecting strong competition in BC's technology sector. Childcare workers, designated as a priority occupation under the province's Childcare BC plan, faced a minimum score of 60 points. All invited candidates must have registered profiles in BC's immigration portal and received a valid job offer from a BC employer in one of the targeted occupations.

As reported by Immigration.ca, the draw reflects BC's strategy to address workforce gaps through immigration while supporting economic recovery in key industries.
