Thanks for the reply, after nomination will I need to apply through EE? I can't see a real step by step guide for bc pnp tech :/ Seems like it gives you EE points but you can also choose to not apply through EE (to avoid waiting time of avg 6months) and apply for work permit... In that case which type of visa is given?i think you'll get the pnp nomination through in time- the longer wait might be the work permit.
