- Thread starter lovykaler
- Start date
HI Tee1 . Thank for responding to my question. I have a couple of other questions.
1. I have applied for my BC PNP and submitted photo copies of the forms that are meant to go to CIC one i get nominated. There are four forms like im008, backround declaration etc. I just realised that I mentioned incorrect dates for my graduate degree . I studied from July 2004 to july 2008 but I mentioned march 2004 to july 2008. Can I correct this when I apply for PR to CIC ? I hope this will not be considered as misrepresentation. I am so nerours about it.
2. I am currently an indian citizen but will get my australian citizenship in next 2 weeks. So by the time I applied for my PR via PNP i will definitely be an australian citizen. Can I make these changes to the form before applying ? Or will PNP forward the photo copies for all those forms to CIC ?
PLEASE ASSIST.

I wouldn't worry about it. The PNP office asks for copies of the CIC forms to check them for you, to make sure there's no mistakes or gaps which would cause a delay if sent to CIC. Quite nice of them heyconfusedimmigrant said:
Just update your forms before you actually send them to CIC.
Thanks Tee. U are awesome..
1 last question for you.. Once I get nominated, I will apply for my PR but I will not be working for my employer until i get my PR. I will be working for another employer on an open work permit through working holiday visa. Is that going to be okay ? My employer is in a regional area and I want to travel around before I settle in canada !!

I can't see anything legally stopping you from doing this as long as your employer is OK with it. Your going via the skilled stream? And so no requirement to already be working for the employer if that's the case. TBH once you have your Aussie citizenship it's easy for you to get visa's as long as your 30 or under. It's a great opportunity to travel around a bit and see where you might want to settle. You never know you might find an ever better job that will put you through the PNP also. Good luckconfusedimmigrant said:

Will appreciate your advice
Pay stubs won't do. They want to see the company's taxation situation, not his.jazz_dhami said:

Hi everyone,
So as some of you may have known, I got approved for BC PNP in late December. So I applied for a work permit online shortly after. However, the lawyer at my company told me that I can flagpole and get my work permit a lot faster, like immediately.
Even though I applied online, it was worth the try so I traveled to Seattle and drove to the Canadian border last weekend. I didn't exactly do what they call "flagpoling", I just drove straight up to the officer and told her I was applying for a work permit. She asked me a few questions and sent me to the office inside. I waited for half and hour at the line and finally got to talk to a border officer. I told her about my situation and she processed my application right there. I waited for another half an hour for her to put in the information and granted me a work permit right after. Since I was approved for PNP, she granted me a work permit for 2 years instead of 1 year so I would have enough time to apply for PR. So the news is, I've got my work permit for 2 years on Friday. While the online application process might take up to 2-4 months, I got it right away at the Canadian Border. Since CIC and Canadian Border Services Agency are two different entity, I had to pay the $150 application fee again and now have to try to get the $150 I paid the CIC back. I'm not sure if it will work. Nonetheless, this took a shitload of weight off my shoulder. I am turning the resignation notice to my current employer today and will be moving to Vancouver in a couple weeks.
Some of you might have known about this already but I just want to share my experience. I didn't know about this when I applied online. The risk with this "flagpoling" thing is that they might not approve my work permit and I will have to go back and wait for the decision on my online application. A refusal for work permit at the border will not affect the decision for applications made to the CIC. But since we are approved for BC PNP, I think it is a lot easier compare to those with LMOs. Best of luck guys, and thank you for your help all along!!!

Thanks Vdang . A quick question for u - I made few mistakes on the cic forms that I sent to bc pnp . They ask for a photo copy of some forms like backround check etc . I just realised that some of my schooling dates are wrong - I am sure it doesn't matter as the years are correct just the months are a bit here and there as it's been a while back when I finished school. Can I just update the forms when I apply for pr or should I notify bc pnp ? U reckon they send those forms to cic ? I think someone else asked this question too before .
