The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) released its 2025 Year in Review Report, detailing high success rates and shifting demographic trends in the province’s immigration strategy.

In 2025, the program maintained a 94.5% application approval rate. The report identified the top five source countries for nominees as India, China, Iran, the Philippines, and the United States. Notably, the United States entered the top five for the first time, driven by provincial efforts to recruit healthcare professionals from the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

Healthcare remains a primary focus for the program. In 2025, 22.2% of all nominations were issued to workers in healthcare occupations. This included significant growth in specific roles, such as a 290% increase in physician nominees and a 208% increase in registered nurse nominees from the United States.
