PNP BC is open again for a limited intake of high skilled roles earning $100k per year and over.
In the FAQ's for this release, there was some info on the current cases:
What about people already in the queue?
The BC PNP continues to focus on processing the applications of people who have
already applied.
We have added 18 additional case review officers to help process the existing
inventory to speed up processing times.
The November 10 intake is limited to 50 applications.
We expect that this intake will not impact processing times for those in the inventory.
What are you doing to reduce wait times?
The Province receives a new allocation of BC PNP nominations from the Federal
government in January 2016.
At that time, the BC PNP will have a new points-based skills intake system requiring
an invitation to apply.
Points will be given to applicants whose skills and experience line up with B.C.’s
economic development priorities.
This new intake system will not only help us reduce wait times, it will also ensure
we’re nominating the best candidates for permanent residency.
The BC PNP has assessed more than 4,400 applications so far in 2015 and is on
track to meet the target of 5,500 nominations this calendar year
