The number of nominations depended on various program and economic factors, including B.C.’s annual allocation, the B.C. Labour Market Outlook: 2018 Edition, historic BC PNP nomination trends and existing application inventory levels. For 2019, the allocation is 6,500.

The number and frequency of invitations to apply is based on annual nomination allocations from the Canadian federal government (IRCC), and the provinces ability to process applications in a timely way.
