The October 20 round
BC lists the result in its invitations to apply table. The page shows “Last updated: October 20, 2026”.
| Stream | Minimum score | Invitations |
|---|---|---|
| Base | 118 | 10 |
| Regional | 118 | fewer than 5 |
BC lists the Regional number as “<5”. It does not give an exact number. An invitation to apply (ITA) lets a candidate submit a nomination application. It is not a nomination and it is not permanent residence.
