British Columbia has raised the application fee for its Skills Immigration category from $1,475 to $1,750.
The new fee applies to applications submitted on or after January 22, 2026. Applications filed before that date are not affected. All other BC PNP fees, including Entrepreneur Immigration and request for review fees, remain unchanged.
The increase applies to the Skilled Worker, Entry Level and Semi-Skilled, and Health Authority streams, including Express Entry BC applications linked to the Skilled Worker and Health Authority streams.
The fee is paid when submitting a nomination application through the BC PNP Online Portal and is refundable only if the application is withdrawn before assessment begins. This provincial fee is separate from federal PR application fees paid to IRCC.
