How it compares
The cut-off did not move: the draw of April 14, 2026 closed at the same 115. Invitations went down by 6 (from 14). 21 days separate the two rounds, against an average of 28 days across the last 5 draws in this stream.
Across the last 5 draws in this stream, this is the lowest cut-off of the set (the range is 115 to 121). In volume terms it lands mid-range: those rounds average 10 invitations, between 7 and 14.
What this round selects
Provincial nominee programs run separately from the federal system: each province opens its own streams, sets its own criteria and publishes its own scores, which is why a provincial score cannot be read against a CRS cut-off. British Columbia (BC PNP) ran this draw in its Base stream. A provincial nomination is not permanent residence in itself — it is the step that lets someone apply for it, and in the streams aligned with Express Entry it also adds 600 points to the CRS.
What it means for your profile
A score of 115 or above in the British Columbia (BC PNP) stream on May 5, 2026 was enough to be invited in this draw. Below that, the registration stays in the province’s system for as long as that province keeps it and is considered again next time. No forecast is attached to these figures. A cut-off reflects the pool as it stood that day and the instructions in force, which is why we publish the record and leave the prediction out.
