A Shifting Landscape for the BCPNP
British Columbia has implemented several key changes to its PNP in 2025, including the closure of specific streams, a temporary pause on some draws, and a focus on attracting individuals with high economic impact. Priority is being given to front-line healthcare workers, skilled workers, and entrepreneurs who can stimulate job creation and economic growth.
