Hi!

I would appreciate if someone can enlighten me on how to proceed with regards to my application. I plan on submitting my work permit application tomorrow as my employer really needs me to start at work.


My background:
- From the PHL, currently living in BC.
- currently on "Maintained/implied status" for temporary resident/visitor. My Visitor record expired June 30, 2023 so I applied last June 3, 2023. My visitor visa expired last June 15, 2022 so I am just extending my status since then.
- A Registered Nurse with BCCNM.
- Hired by a Health Authority through IMP
- also with a BC PNP nomination and work permit support letter
- I have a EEBC profile with a CRS of 1013. Just waiting for my ITA


I would like to obtain my work permit as soon as possible and is only considering the paper application or flagpoling since online application takes months to process. However, Health Match BC advised me to avoid the flagpoling route since it's risky and I'm still on implied status.

Any thoughts about my situation will be much appreciated. Thank you very much! :)
