PNP or EE - fastest route for Work Permit?

[MartyD]

I have received ITAs to both EE and PNP, and have all of my documents ready to submit my applications.

Which route will be faster? Happy to wait a little longer for Permanent Residency, mostly keen to acquire a work permit as early as possible so that I can start working asap.

Thanks the help

Maybe you are confusing some terms? A work permit is designated for temporary resident foreign workers. If you are granted permanent residency, then you are automatically permitted to work in Canada.

An ITA is only applicable to EE. Did you mean you got a NOI from Ontario PNP or an LAA from Manitoba PNP? Or did you already get a PNP from a paper-based programme?

Apologies for the confusion - still learning my way around all of the terms.

Yes, I have received an ITA for my EE profile and am ready to submit all of my documents and pay the fees. At the same time, I have received an "Invitation to Apply" for my BC PNP profile - again, I'm ready to submit all of my documents and pay the fees.

I'm keen to start working as soon as possible, and I've been told that BC PNP can help provide a temporary work permit while waiting for my PR to be granted. Would it be faster to just wait for my PR application, or push through my BC PNP and hope to be granted work permit before PR?

All right, thanks for clarifying. My bad as well, I didn't know BC PNP called their ITAs, which tends to be confusing. It also would helped to identify BC as your PNP, as different provinces have different procedures.

I just deleted a stupid block of text that I had written. Since you already have an ITA from EE, just go with the EE profile and straight to PR status.
