File number is high 2000s
Work permit expires Oct 8th so requested support letter by email when returning requested docs.

Think application would have been approved on or around 16th Sept if Employer had signed job offer form in first place but they said they didn't have too. Took quite a lot of pursuading to get them to do it after it was requested, mainly a HR issue.

Hello All,
I am pretty new here. I have tried to search but cannot find any case in similar situation.

Currently I am in US for my PhD study. I will graduate in December this year. In May I accepted a job offer in Vancouver BC. The company told me that they are not going to apply LMO. Instead, they applied BC PNP for me as skilled worker. They told me that once I get the nomination letter I will be able to apply for temporary work permit and entering visa until I become PR of Canada. Believe me, I had no idea what is PNP and LMO then. Unfortunately, the processing time had been delayed due the large volume of applications. I haven't got any update from them. A few days ago, when I checked the processing time for work permit at New York embassy, I was surprised to find it will be another 5 months. It will be very hard for me to wait for 5 additional months in US, not mention I wont be able to stay legally here in State. By the way, I do not have any Canadian visa. I have never come to Canada.
So I contacted a specialist of Canadian Immigration. I explained him my situation. I was wondering if there will be any fast way for me to get work permit. He told me I can just apply for a entering visa, like a visitor visa. At the boarder of entry, I can directly apply for the work permit. He said so long you have all the required documents, like approval of PNP, police record, medical check, etc., the chance is high for me to get the work permit. I was not convinced. So I consulted another specialist. This one, however, told me a different story. He said theoretically it is doable. However, whether I will get the work permit will depend on the officer process the documents. In his opinion, it will be to risky to do in this way. If I failed, it may have some negative impacts on my later application for PR. Now I am totally confused. Obviously I would like to get the work permit in a fast manner. But I do not want to take too much risk. What's do your guys think?
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
My application was received on 9th May. My file number is SO-14-25xx.

Thank you so much.

Hello
What is your file number.
If your file is in progress that means they are going pretty fast now.

Hello....
Can u plz tell where did u work? how to make a strong file presentation for BC PNP.. what were ur wages when u applied? My employer have multiple business in Vancouver area on my site where I am working as a Supervisor we have 6 Full Time employees.. one requirement for BC PNP is that if employer is in Vancouver area he/she must have 5 full time employees....my question is that as my employer have multiple business in Vancouver area for PNP requirement of 5 Full time employees will they consider that how many Full time employees he have in all business rather than just considering the location where I am working ? I think my employer have more than 3 business (single owner) will this b a strong point for my file a that my employer is a strongly established business person....how much wage per I should get for supervisor level job to make my case strong .... my current wages are $13 per hour.... As per the annual Income requirement which is $21000 per year ... I calculated my annual income with $13 per hour it is more than $21000 I am working 36 or 37 hrs per week so if we calculate with 36 hrs per week

36 X 52 = 1,872
1,872 X 13 = 24,336

So I my income is more than requirement so in this case my question is that is $13 per hour enough? or need more? For per week Hours I am getting 36 - 37 or sometimes 40 per week are enough right? they said u must have at least 30 hours per week ....
One more thing I heard that they are INCREASING BC PNP Processing time... so far what I know that It is 5 to 6 months after AOR right. Is that correct that they are increasing times? Is there any kind quota for BC PNP that they will approve a limited number of applications per year?? I heard that they have 6000 quota per year and so far more than 5600 applications have been received....Is this correct that they have any kind of quota.?? According to ur experience what is the success rate for BC PNP now days...??I am going to apply in next one or two months... would you suggest me to apply early than two months??
one more question what will happen to those people who already have employers and working for their employer after January 2015 when CIC gonaa release express entry? then people need to enter into a pool for PNP also? but what if someone already working for an employer same as me (I am already working as a supervisor from last 6 months) how will he/she apply for BC PNP?(If he/she applying after releasing Express Entry in January 2015? )will there b any kind of bad or good impact on PNP? I heard that as I am already working for an employer then my category is Employer Driven so there won't b any problem for me or for others who are in Employer Driven Category...? is it correct?
ANYONE PLZ PLZ SUGGEST ME WHAT SHOULD I FOR MY STRONG CASE WHAT ELSE DO I NEED.. PLZ PLZ REPLY...
