Well, if your company is legitimate, then you don't have anything to worry about. It only takes time to process. On the bright side, at least you got your employer to do the LMIA process.

Maybe they need to check more info on your employer and the hiring process to make sure everything is legit ? I know there are tons of scam or private companies founded by individual with the only purpose to sponsor people illegally before the new rules applied. On the paper, it says you can be...

Do you apply by yourself or through an agent ?

Yep and we even have PR people working in McDonalds as burger flippers aka criminal (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/mcdonald-s-worker-who-said-he-would-cut-off-boss-s-head-sentenced-1.3151033) while graduate students working fulltime job cannot get ITAs.

Do you guys know if the documents in BC PNP similar to Express Entry ? can we reuse documents from PNP to EE ?

Your situation is very similar to mine. Graduated in March, got PGWP in April, started working in August. However, how was you able to work fulltime in May if you received your PGWP in August -> no Social Insurance Number ?

Looks like people forget to include cellphone bill, health insurance and other stuff, those things also add up a bit. Cheapest cellphone plan should be around $25/month before taxes, average around $35/month. For insurance, I don't have family, so I don't know about family plan but for a single...

Actually, my situation is a bit like you, I'll only have 2 yrs exp next August (2016), so I only have around 6 months left after that time. Did you mean you're going to find another employer to help you with PNP or LMIA ?

Who doesn't know ? In China and South East Asia (especially Philippines), we have hundred of universities which offers degree programs in English, but that doesn't mean the standard is the same as accredited Canadian colleges and universities.

People should seriously stop asking us to get an LMIA. You all know that almost no big company is willing to pay $1000 fee and go through a whole process to apply for an LMIA for us. Even Asivac Anad already said it multiple times here. The only way to go is PNP, but it's not always easy and...

This is true, a friend of mine was able to get his PR through the CEC with a salary of $38k/year (2012). Now, you need at least above $47k/year to be able to enter the PNP. It's not that easy to find a junior positions for undergrad with hourly rate above $22/hr. Many junior accountants I know...

At a quick glance, I don't see it's specified on the website, but I think if you have to pay a "special fee" of $1500 for this stream. You have to have a different or better treatment from other normal stream.

We do have a stream for international student, but the quota is only 200, and hourly wage must be above $22.00/hr. I have a fulltime position but hourly rate is under $22/hr.

Oh, it's Ontario. I'm in BC though, tougher situation :(

Are we talking about pure EE or PNP/EE ?

Seriously, we should do that. Instead of spending several thousands for lawyers, we have free support from senior members here. I don't mind gifting $5 or $10 to someone helping me.

So according to new rules, all applicants in Metro Vancouver must have a job with an hourly rate above $22 ? Doesn't it a little too high for some positions, especially in Skill level B, C and D ?

But the program is currently closed right ? I read on this thread that they will reopen the program on July with a quota of 5500 applications. Is this correct ?

Hi guys, sorry for asking a few obvious questions, but can I still apply for the BCPNP ? I'm working full time (IT) on PGWP with a bachelor from a BC university.

Hi everyone, I'm going to submit a EE application this August. Based on my calculations, I only have 303 points. Can you check if my calculations is correct, and what should I do to improve my points ? # Age : 25 yrs # Marital status : single/never married # Education...
