Hi, I applied for PNP because my work experience in the past 10 years was mostly self employed, so I'm write at the cut off point in terms of points at 472. By applying for PNP, it would boost up my points in case the immigration officer decided that my previous work experience wasn't valid as...

Then why does the BC PNP application for International Graduates require that you upload a copy of your Express Entry candidacy from CIC? And why does it ask you how many points you've received from CIC?

Thanks for your response. It's particular to my own situation and work history, but I thought it would be wise to have the extra points that I would receive from PNP.

Hello all, I received an ITA from IIRC on Sept 4 and an ITA for BC PNP on September 14. I've just uploaded and submitted the BC PNP application and there's just 34 days left to submit my Express Entry application. Do I just submit the Express Entry application now? Or do I hold off until I...

Just wondering if anyone has any info about this, as I'm in the same boat!

Hello all, I just received my ITA for BC PNP and the application requires upload of a Municipal Business Licence. However, the organization I work for is a non-profit, and hence we don't have a Municipal Business Licence: other non-profit groups registered as charitable organizations and...

Hello all, Quick question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I've been working for the same employer for over a year on an LMIA Exempt Open Work Permit that is tied to my wife's study visa. We're looking to apply for permanent residency, and I was wondering if my employer needs to get an...

Quick question. Sorry if it's a stupid question. I'm traveling often for work, so I'll be gone for a few weeks and then home for a few weeks, and then gone. I understand that for PR purposes, I can only count up to 30 hours a week for those weeks, (although I read in another thread that for...

Thanks for the info. I think that there has to be some other explanation, perhaps related to how self-employed people calculate their hours? I say this because I don't know of a single musician who is on tour for 52 weeks a year, which is what would be required for PR according to what you're...

Bump - any info anyone?

No of course I wasn't playing music non-stop 24 hours a day. But when you're not playing you're still away from home, traveling from city to city, and on call 24/7. Even days off are usually spent traveling, and we're paid for that time. Sample itinerary from two days of a tour in March. The...

I'm usually paid a weekly fee.

Hello all, Quick question - I've been working as a self employed musician for the past 7 years performing with world class, multiple-Grammy winning artists. I was wondering how to calculate touring experience for work hours. For example, let's say I'm on tour for a week, does that count as 168...
