Direct answerThe Care pillar covers health, childcare (ECE), education and veterinary occupations. 2026 score minimums ranged from 68 (Education) to 115 (Childcare), plus a one-off 50-point rural & remote health round.

Worked example for Care: take the category, TEER, and wage facts on this page and enter them in the BC PNP calculator with your years of skilled work and language level. The result is a SIRS estimate out of 200 points. Compare it with recent invitation ranges for your pillar. It does not guarantee an invitation.

Rural & remote health initiative50 (narrowly targeted, one-off)
The rural & remote health initiative's 50-point minimum reflected a very small, specific pool (health occupations in particular rural/remote communities), not a general easing of the Care bar. Don't treat it as evidence Care is broadly easier to enter.

Questions

What should I know about Care?

The Care pillar covers health, childcare (ECE), education and veterinary occupations. 2026 score minimums ranged from 68 (Education) to 115 (Childcare), plus a one-off 50-point rural & remote health round.

How do I use this with the calculator?

Read the direct answer, check the facts, then open the score calculator. Enter the usual TEER for this page plus your own wage, experience, education, and language. The calculator applies the SIRS grid in force since 4 December 2025 and the 23 April 2026 Care, Build, and Innovate categories.

Does this replace an official BC PNP result?

No. This is an estimate from published SIRS figures and WelcomeBC announcements. Only WelcomeBC produces an official category placement or invitation.
