Find your BC PNP category and SIRS score
Free Skills Immigration Registration System estimate out of 200 points on the grid in force since 4 December 2025, restructured around Care, Build, and Innovate on 23 April 2026.
There is no single BC PNP cut-off. The SIRS grid scores wage, work experience, education, language, and region out of 200 points, but 2026 category minimums have ranged from about 50 to 138 depending on which pillar your occupation falls into.
Find your category first on bcpnp.getnorthpath.com, then fill the form for a sourced score estimate.

What the BC PNP calculator is
BC rebuilt Skills Immigration around three pillars on 23 April 2026. Which bucket your NOC lands in often matters more than a raw point total. This calculator classifies the category first, then estimates SIRS factors from WelcomeBC-sourced tables.
Care, Build, and Innovate
Priority-occupation lists are versioned. The calculator uses the list published 23 April 2026; always confirm on WelcomeBC before registering.
Both Skills Immigration streams require a valid indeterminate full-time offer from an eligible BC employer.
What moves the SIRS score
| Factor | Typical max |
|---|---|
| Wage vs BC median | 55 |
| Work experience | 40 |
| Education | 40 |
| Language (CLB) | 40 |
| Region | 25 |
Who this is for, concretely
If you have a BC job offer
Confirm which pillar and category your NOC sits in, then estimate SIRS before you register an Expression of Interest. Category beats total score when invitation floors differ widely.
If you are outside Metro Vancouver
Region points and nomination targeting both favour jobs outside Metro Vancouver. Check the regional district on the calculator, not just the city name.
If you want a consultant on the full file
