Hi @Password ,

Thanks , Submitted on 7 March . ITA on May 12th. Applied on 29th May . BCPNP Official Responded with clarification questions on 17 Aug .

Had to shell out 800 CAD to the immigration lawyer only for consultation / preparing the clarification letter to BCPNP Official.

Clarification officially Submitted on Sep 6th . Waiting for the final verdict - Fingers crossed.

Kev

Which category did you apply? What was the clarification question?

All, I will post my situation in this topic as it seems to be the most appropriate.
If someone face similar scenario, please share some info, I am dead on the water at the moment.

So, I applied to BC PNP and received the nomination on the EE stream.
Then my IRCC EE AAA profile got the 600 points.
Submitted documents and waited 30 days.
Then my IRCC EE AAA profile got rejected because I did not add my son original birth certification, only the translation.

Appealed to CSE sending the required document but got a message saying it is not possible to reopen the application once cancelled, that I should create a new profile.
No problem, I did create IRCC EE BBB, but I don't have enough points on this profile to receive an ITA because I don't have the 600 points from BC PNP on it.

So, I sent a message to BC PNP asking if there is a way to link my nomination to the new profile, still have not heard from them...

So, 2 things:
1. My nomination expires in 2017, but I do not see a way to use it as it is linked to a cancelled profile due to lack of a document. Does anyone sees a way around it? I mean, can I use this nomination some other way?
2. Be very careful when sending the documents through IRCC EE after the nomination, as it seems to be a one shot where nothing can goes wrong, otherwise you will have to start over...

Good luck,
Andre

OK, heard back from BC PNP today. In case it happens with anyone else, they DO transfer your nomination to a new IRCC EE profile. I guess it depends on the situation but at least in case it is a missing document they have the flexibility and capability to do it for you. It did work for me, thank you so much BC PNP!

So, after 2 long weeks of suffer I have the new IRCC EE profile with my 600 points and I am waiting for the next draw.

Anyway, this time I have a plan B - I have also applied on the SI category within BC PNP and I am waiting the next draw (130 points, hope it comes lower than that).
EE might be faster but like many people say here the old style of sending documents by mail seems to bring less damage to the heart...

So, let's see what happens first, the IRCC draw or the BC PNP one.
Good luick all!

Please help!!

I have been working for this company for more than 2 years. My first job after graduating. My boss is ready to file PNP for me but he won't agree to post my job again. Does my employer has to go through all the hassle of posting job again even if I have been working for the company for more than 2 years. I am on Post Graduate Work Permit.

Also which form does my employer has to fill out? He wants to look at the form before hand.

Thanks a lot

Hi everyone!

Been lurking on this thread for quite a while and I have some questions regarding the BC PNP application. Below is my timeline of events:

Sept 2009 - First time in Canada and started schooling at UBC
May 2014 - Graduated from UBC
Sept 2014 - Hired by my current company (NOC 1222 Skill Level B)
Dec 2015 - Registered for both Express Entry CEC (EE CEC requires at least a year of working experience in Canada) and EE BC PNP International Graduate category (was gonna register for it after my 1 year at my company but they closed it for a few months)
Aug 26th, 2016 - Had previously given up hope on BC PNP since my score did not meet the benchmark of 105 points but BAAMM an ITA was sent to me on this date

I am currently in the process of gathering all the required documents for the application before the deadline on Sept 26th. Here are the questions I have:

1. One of the employer's requirements is it should "meet domestic labour market recruitment requirements", and this requirement will be met if a) I have a valid work permit (I'm a PGWP holder) and working full time for the supporting employer in the occupation identified in the job offer (which I am), or b) employer has to provide evidence to show their recruitment effort by advertising my job for at least 2 weeks. I initially applied for another position at the same company but got hired for my current job as my boss thinks that I fit better in my current department (the nature of both jobs are pretty similar but different departments and I have way more responsibilities). As the employer has to fill in the Recruitment Summary, I'm worried that there might be discrepancies since they did not advertise my current job along with the job I initially applied to, and I'm assuming the PNP officer would call and ask the employer to provide evidence of recruitment efforts. Any thoughts on how can my employer fill the Recruitment Summary?

2. The online application form asks "have you previously visited Canada within the past 10 years". I've been living here for 7 years (5 years at school and 2 years and counting at work) and have taken trips to overseas in between, how should I fill the "purpose of my trips to Canada"? Do I count it from the date when I returned from my trips?

I really hope that some kind souls can enlighten me on this! Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for the lengthy post...

Hi Friends,

I have been on ICT WP and working in BC since 4.5 years. I have created my profile forSkilled Immigration under BC PNP programme now.

I had received a job offer from my employer which is located in Toronto when I moved to Canada. So, I have shown that I have a valid job offer in BC while creating an application under BC PNP.

Can you please advise is this correct to show?

I also mentioned Yes for the following questions and for the second question, I have shown my foreign work experience as well but I declared was this work in Canada as No.
Are you currently working for the B.C. employer supporting your job offer?
Do you have any full-time work experience within the past ten years that is directly related to the job offer indicated above?

did I miss anything for above questions?

I totally got 98 points and got an invitation to apply from BC PNP. I need the clarifications for above questions before proceeding with my documentation for BC PNP.

Appreciate your response.

Thanks in advance.

Your employer is located at Toronto and you work in BC, is that right?
If he has the business licence and registration on BC I would say you are good, these are required documents you will need to upload.
Did you get the invitation today?

hi folks ,

I'm super new here. In order to apply for the BC PNP, do I first have to create an express entry profile?

When I create a log in account with BC PNP and fill out all necessary online documentation, do I just cross fingers and wait for an ITA?

Thanks

I'm super new here. In order to apply for the BC PNP, do I first have to create an express entry profile?

Only if you are applying for BC PNP EE. You don't need an EE if you are applying for the Skills Immigration stream.

When I create a log in account with BC PNP and fill out all necessary online documentation, do I just cross fingers and wait for an ITA?

No need to cross your fingers. If you fill all the requirements and have enough points you'll get the ITA.
