Hi everyone,
As someone who is slightly overwhelmed with cramming information in and with the current climate, I was wondering if you could help me with a couple of questions I had and lay it out for me in a relatively simple way, because at this point I feel like too much information is confusing me!
A little about me/current situation:
I've been in BC for the last 2 years working in the television and film industry but a combined experience altogether of 1 year of full time work. I got 'laid off' around March when COVID-19 hit, not knowing when I will be going back to work. My IEC visa ends June this year. I'm way under the cut off point for CEC currently, because I did not go to university back home. I finished high school and went straight into work. My experience back home includes a combined experience of a year as an administrative assistant and 3 years working in retail, 2 out of 3 years being a retail manager of various departments.
I may have a potential job offer in accommodation, that is willing to offer me an indefinite offer etc. I don't directly have experience in Canada or back home in accommodation, but my experience working as a manager on a large scale, managing 20+ colleagues, audit checks, compliancy, as well as my administration experience is what made me stand out to the potential employer. In my current role in the television and film industry, I also hire and train new employees. I also have distant relatives here, if that helps in anyway at all. 2nd cousins etc.
I was wondering if I would be eligible to apply through EEBC PNP or another stream if possible?
If Yes:
I'm assuming this process will take me way past my visa ending, do I apply for a bridging permit through PNP or CEC?
If/when invited to apply, do I have to be actively working with that potential employer or can I work for my current job, if the job offer employment has not returned back to work?
If accepted, I'm assuming these points get added to my CEC points and I get an invite to apply for PR. Again, would it be an issue if I am working for my current role and not the one offered, because things have not resumed back to normal with the potential job offer? Or if it would be an issue if I have to go home during the time my PR is being processed/assessed because my bridging permit has expired.
If eventually PR is accepted and COVID-19 is still an active issue and the job offer employment is still out of work, am I free to work wherever I want?
I hope this isn't confusing! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
