On October 2, 2025, Immigration, BC PNP announced important news regarding the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP).
Additional 1,254 nominations approved for 2025, with a focus on healthcare, entrepreneurs, and international post-graduates
The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) 2025 has received 1,254 additional nominations from the federal government. This increase is expected to accelerate nominations for healthcare professionals in Canada, entrepreneurs, and candidates with high economic impact.
Progress on Backlogged International Post-Graduate (IPG) Applications
A portion of the 2,240 waitlisted International Post-Graduate (IPG) applications submitted in 2024 will also be processed under this allocation, providing new opportunities for international graduates seeking Canadian permanent residence.
Insufficient for Other Priority Areas
However, the additional nominations are not sufficient to expand other priority areas for 2025. B.C. continues to advocate for further increases in BC PNP allocations to support more skilled workers and international graduates.
This news is based on an announcement by BCPNP and has been summarized by VisaJP Canada.
