Draw Status
Dates, categories, number of invitations, and minimum scores for each round are published without a fixed schedule (approximately 1–2 times per month in 2026). The year 2026 follows the Care / Build / Innovate framework: Innovate high economic impact rounds draw on both wage thresholds and scores on the same day; Care / Build are targeted occupation rounds. Rounds with fewer than 5 people in BC are shown as "<5", and cannot be counted as 0 or 5 in totals.
Recent rounds (third-party summary, pending verification against official pages):
- 2026-10-29 · Innovate wage track: wage line 49 CAD/hour and 99,000 CAD/year, 524 shares, no minimum score
- 2026-10-29 · Innovate score track: 248 entries, minimum score 131
- 2026-10-08 · Care / Build targeted: Healthcare 76 points 82 positions; Early childhood education 99 points 86 positions; Construction 94 points 115 positions; Veterinary 86 points <5 positions
