Yes many members of this group are waiting for bc pnp nomination from last 5 months, 6 months and 4 months. They all are under international graduate category...and inside canada.

I got nominated under International graduate skilled immigration category. I am applying by paper application. In couple months I will be eligible for Canadian Experience Class. My question is can I apply for another PNP under International Graduate Express Entry category when my paper based application is also under process?

Better to call them. I think you can have two applications at the same time.

Did bc pnp officer give any reason why they are holding their applications

 

[BCguy]

Is score and category increase or decrease processing times.

if yes please explain it.

my category is EE-BCPNP Skilled Category
NOC 0631
BC PNP Score 89

OK I get it ,Restaurant manager,there has been a lot of issues with this category lately.The BC PNP is doing a lot more diligence for this category because of abuse.For example a fast food restaurant I know in North Vancouver has 1 manager 2 assistant managers 4 Supervisors and 3 crew.Likewise there is a restaurant on Vancouver island with one manager,three assistant managers ,one kitchen manager 2 cooks and 2 food service supervisors and one waiter.The positions were created to comply with BC PNP together with "creative immigration consultants"Hope this helps

No you are looking at 16+ 3 vs 11. The 16 months calculation is after AOR. Some AOR can take 3 months to get.

16 month calcuation is from the day someone receives your file in cic.
For example i sent my file on Jan 19th they received it on the 21st jan 2016. I got my aor on march 30th 2016. My 16 months start from 21st jan not march 30th.

Between pnp paper based file and express entry if you have a very short time remaning say 1-2 months and have a good IELTS score along with a rough idea of how much CRS score you can get using a CRS tool you should apply for EE its worth it. Yesterdays draw had a CRS if 431 which was never a possibility last year.

In my opinion even if you have to wait 2 more months you will still have a upper hand with EE. But its your decision to decide

So I am looking at 19 months!!!!! Oh man! Is there any risk for me to cancel my nomination and apply again? I noticed some people are waiting for nomination from 4 months, I got it in 1 month but still. I just don't wanna take any risk, my work permit is valid till late 2019.

Mine is valid till April 2019, even worse than yours...

 

[tushya]

Correct

What if my job offer doesn't have a LMIA, but I'm NOC B. Would that effect me to go with EE? Thanks

I did not understand what you want to say.
they are strict for Noc 0631.
why.

May i know why that is worse ? my understanding says that is good because you have enough time to complete all steps (is not right ? )

We were just talking about the validity of our work permits. The other person said his was valid till the end of 2019 and he might have a tight time to get the PR based on the 16-20 months of processing time. So mine is even shorter, that's what I meant
