You are receiving this email because you applied to one of the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Skills Immigration streams.
Please be advised that average processing times have increased for Skills Immigration applications submitted after May 2024. The
estimated processing time is now expected to be approximately seven months for 80% of applications due to fewer federal nominations available to B.C. in 2024. Processing times for
new applications are anticipated to return to approximately three months for 80% of applications in early 2025. Please see our
news post dated July 15, 2024 for more information.
Please note that applying for a provincial nomination does not mean that you have legal status in Canada. Registrants and applicants with expiring work permits are responsible for maintaining legal status in Canada. Visit Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s website for more
information about extending a work permit.
Thank you for your interest in the BC Provincial Nominee Program.
Sincerely,
BC Provincial Nominee Program
