The BC PNP February 2026 High Economic Impact Draw just raised the bar — and if you’re not paying attention, you could miss your shot at permanent residency.
In two back-to-back draws on February 4 and February 11, 2026, the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) invited 889 high-earning professionals to apply for nomination.
But here’s the real story:
👉 Wage thresholds hit $145,000 per year
👉 Hourly rates reached $70/hour
👉 Points scores climbed to 138
British Columbia is no longer inviting average profiles.
They are targeting top economic contributors.
Let’s break this down.

What This Actually Means (And Why It Matters)
Let’s be blunt.
British Columbia wants:
✔ High earners
✔ Senior professionals
✔ Specialists
✔ Executives
✔ Strategic hires
If you are earning six figures and working in TEER 0–3, you are exactly who the province is targeting.
If you are not — you need strategy.
Because here’s the hidden message:
The BC PNP February 2026 High Economic Impact Draw proves the program is shifting toward economic ROI.
This is not random selection.
It’s calculated.
And future draws may change criteria again under Section 7.3(a) of the Skills Immigration Program Guide.
Which means:
Waiting = Risk.
Do You Qualify for the BC PNP February 2026 High Economic Impact Draw?

If you’re close to these numbers, you might be one strategic adjustment away from qualifying.
