Hey everyone,

Just an update:

My Express Entry BC PNP (Skilled Worker) application was received on February 19th.
Exactly 2 weeks ago today.

I have NOT received my AOR yet.

I will keep everyone updated.

Thanks

Hi,

Mine was received on Friday Feb 20th. No sign of AOR yet. Someone should make a tracker for PNP EE!

Cheers,
Aidin

Hey Aidin,

It seems like you and I applied exactly at the same time (mine was 1 day earlier) under the PNP EE.
So let's keep each other updated on the AOR?

Thanks
Cohen

My bc pnp was recieved on the 18th Feb. Under the EE no word yet. Hoping for early next week. Will keep you informed. Visa expires 26th April. Anyone know if we can get a bwop visa or extend long enough to complete the whole process. Or will I be going home?

Hey Jroockley.

I am on the same boat as you. EE PNP received on the 19th, no word yet - but hopefully will get the AOR this week or next week.
If you have a work permit till April 26th, you will very likely get nominated before then and can easily get a support letter from PNP to extend your work permit.

My Post-Graduation Work Permit expires on March 20th. I can remain in the country under Implied Status and continue to work as long as I file an "Extension for my Work Permit" before the 20th.

Keep me posted on your AOR?

Cheers
Cohen

Hi,

Today I got an email from MyCIC saying:
Your application(E000XXXXXX) has been updated.
Your application has been updated. Please sign in to your MyCIC account and check your application status and messages for more information...
....

I logged in and everything is the same.. Very strange. Has any of you guys received anything like that?

I was wondering if it's a sign! Maybe they link up the PNP EE application with your profile? Someone said that the nomination points were awarded automatically once they received the nomination.. that might mean there would be a communication between PNP EE and EE profile..

Anyway, just speculating..
Let me know if you got anything similar to mine these past few days..

Cheers,
Aidin

Aidan i got the same, jumped up looking at my emails, went to check MyCIC and nothing, could it mean that somebody is looking at my profile from BC PNP this morning?

Who knows, glad somebody else got it though!

The timing of the notification suggests that it was someone from ottawa rather than vancouver (6am!) So I'm guessing during the process they link up the pnp EE and EE profiles and maybe it's initiated by BC and has to be "accepted" by ottawa. :D so much speculation eh? I'm a software engineer though. And this makes sense to me. I'd say sometime last week they opened our applications and began processing it and hopefully we should get the AOR soon. Not sure if AOR is an email or a letter.. anyone has an idea?

Yeah who knows bud, I lost hope after the whole CEC returning thing earlier this year, i could have been so much farther ahead in this application if they just said it was full. So i won't get my hopes up again! But at least it seems someone is looking this time! Will update on any further info!

who knows.. I was SO disappointing with the CEC thing too.. had nightmares for a couple of nights :D but maybe it's even faster this way.. if the PNP goes through soon enough, and they stick to their 6 months time frame it'd definitely be faster.. but yeah, let's not get our hopes too high.

Yeah, if i get nonimated i am hoping to find a way to not have to go home on the 26th April, as i think it will still be after then. I am currently on the IEC visa and i don't really have a clue what to do next, but small steps. right now i just checked my credit card to make sure i still had room for $550.

HAHAHAA this is hilarious! I received the EXACT same email as you guys. I was so stoked but yes, my Express Entry profile on CIC looks exactly the same.

Just like Aidin, my email arrived at 5AM - so that was deff from Ottawa not Van.

Jroockley, did you see what I said about Work Permit extension? You can gain 3 months that way.

Guys keep me updated as soon as you get the AOR. My EE BC PNP application was received on the 19th so we are all in similar timeline here I think.

Cheers
Cohen
