Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knows; would I be able I apply for BC PNP Express entry with only 17 months direct work experience and not the specified 2 years.

You need only 12 months of direct related work experience. What is your Noc under which you are applying?

Has BC PNP changed that it doesn't require job offer anymore for Express entry category?

I thought the requirements have been the same for a long while now.
2 years directly related work experience, and a valid job offer.

Am I eligible?

If you are applying under skilled worker category you should be having 2 years work experience. But under IG category you need one year.
Correct me if I’m wrong

Under which category are you applying? Different category has different requirements

Hi,

I have a valid job offer as an Occupational Therapist and will be working under noc 3143 (occupational therapist). This is a skill A job and I have 17 months direct experience. And 12month experience as a rehabilitation assistant.

I was wanting to apply through EEBC- healthcare professionals. Though it does say 2 years direct work experience is required... do you reckon this could be overlooked as I meet all other requirements?

You need 'at least 2 years directly related work experience'.
You can always phone them and ask, but it's a requirement listed on their website unfortunately.

2 years requirement is only for skilled worker category

2 years requirement is only for skilled worker category

Yes, but the poster is applying via EEBC- healthcare professionals, which requires 2 years directly related work experience.

I don't believe anyone here is talking about International Graduate program, and all other open/available BC PNP programs require 2 years experience, as far as I have read.
