However, if you don't have IELTS you are not able to get that part of score in BC's EOI system.
Requirements says you dont need IELTS on NOC A jobs, if your score is high enough without language tests, you will get ITA and they will approve ur application.sam1313 said:thanks for your precious time and replying to my query!
Yup i only got 91 points for my profile under Skilled BC international graduate category. However, on their website it's clearly written that people with NOC A jobs are not required to give any ILETS exam. I am very much confused with that clause.
Thanks again!
okay cool! i understand everything now.Thanks very much for your help!wicaact said:Requirements says you dont need IELTS on NOC A jobs, if your score is high enough without language tests, you will get ITA and they will approve ur application.
Now without IELTS you only have 91 points, so that you are not able to get ITA so far since lowest score is 105, if you have language test your score will be improved and you will get ITA soon, otherwise you need to wait to score to go down.
These are my concerns as well. I have a job with an end date and they are likely to renew it for another year but will not offer me an indeterminate position because I'm on PGWP. If you email them and hear back, please share.travellerr said:Just to confirm again: does a 2 years full-time job offer NOT count for BC PNP? Or would it suffice? It won't be a contract position, but a regular employee. Except that the offer would state an end date...
What if an employer also provides a letter stating that they would extend a position in the future (after the job offer expires)? Or does BC PNP accept strictly indeterminate job offers?
I'm trying to calculate a risk of submitting a job offer + letter combo and taking the job. Can anyone offer insight?
Thank you for input.
UPDATE:
Does anyone know if BC PNP answers questions like that? Is there a phone number/website/office where we can ask for advice?
The PNP office emailed back. All they said is basically a quote from the PNP Program Guide that a job offer must be for a full-time, indeterminate position. They also suggested to refer to the program guide for detailed requirements.BA2LAMAZ said:These are my concerns as well.

Also, for those who already applied, please share your insight. Thank you

They didn't answer my question exactly. The question was if a job offer with an end date + a letter of support from the employer would qualify for PNP. Based on the program guide, I guess, the answer is "no", because it's not an indeterminate position.
