INVITATIONS TO APPLY (ITA)

Last updated: 16/12/2025

The BC PNP periodically invites applicants from its registration pool to submit applications. Selected applicants are those deemed most likely to meet the economic and labour market needs of British Columbia, based on the information provided in their applications.

Invitations to Apply (ITAs) are sent to applicants under Skills Immigration and Entrepreneur Immigration.

FROM RECENT JOB OFFERS: WHAT SHOULD CANDIDATES DO TO GET AN OFFER?

Based on the most recent high economic impact invitation rounds, BC PNP invited candidates according to two main criteria groups:

1. There is a very high salary and a suitable job offer.

During the invitation rounds:

• December 10, 2025 (high salary)
  • Minimum wage: $87/hour or $170,000/year
  • Occupation: NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3
  • 96 candidates were invited based on these criteria.
• December 10, 2025: Minimum score 138 (314 applicants)
• October 2nd, 2025 (high salary)
  • Minimum wage: $90/hour or $175,000/year
  • Occupation: NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3
  • 114 candidates were invited.
• October 2, 2025: Minimum score 140 (360 applicants)
• 08/05/2025 (high salary)
  • Minimum wage: $105/hour
  • Occupation: NOC TEER 0 or 1
  • 47 candidates were invited.
• 08/05/2025: Minimum score 150 (47 candidates)

Inferred from the invitation data:

• The candidate has a very high salary, is currently working at BC, and has a job offer in the highly skilled NOC category, which BC PNP considers to have a significant economic impact.
• Candidates who don't meet the very high salary threshold may still be offered a position if their application score is high enough.
