BC PNP - EE International Post Graduate

[agao3]

Really useful. This is my current timeline.

EE BC PNP International Post-Graduate (outland) (PhD in BC)
EE BC PNP application: February 16, 2022
EE BC PNP nomination: March 30, 2022

EE outland (NOC 4011) - Postdoctoral Research Scientist (US)
EE ITA: April 13, 2022
EE AOR: May 21, 2022 (with upfront medical)
MEP: August 12, 2022
BIL: August 12, 2022
Biometrics upload to profile: August 24, 2022

Some questions I had before applying:
- Do I need an English test to apply?
For the EE Yes. For the BC PNP EE stream you need to meet the EE requirements and one of the them is the Language test.
For the Non Express Entry is not a requirement.

- Does the Postdoc experience count as work experience for EE?
I applied using my postdoc experience as the work experience with the NOC 4011. I don't have a fellowship so I get pay directly from the university.

- How long does it take to get the 600 points in your profile after nomination?
I got the 600 points the same day I got PNP nomination.

Hope this helps to future applicants. I'll keep updating my timeline here

Wow, this is great.
I was wondering what NOC should I put in my EE profile? I had two years of experience as Chemist, should it be my primary NOC? But I am actually not relying on that experience, I am relying on the BCPNP nomination.

Hello,

I have a question and would appreciate some assistance. My BC PNP application for the Non-Express Entry IPG stream is currently in process, and I am in BC right now. I am hopeful it will be approved by the end of next month. Due to a family emergency, I will need to leave Canada for two months right after my application gets approved, and will apply for PR after returning to Canada.

In this situation, do I need to inform the BC PNP team that I will be out of the country, or is there a risk they might cancel my application?

Thank you for your help.

Hello, I applied for the Express Entry BC PNP International Postgraduate stream on April 29, 2024. However, the status is still 'Applied.' Has anyone else recently applied for the same stream? Can you please share your timeline? I would appreciate any updates you can provide. Thanks.

Hey, I’m in the same position. Mine is Non EE IPG stream. Applied in last week of March, still says ‘Applied’.
Let me know if it changes for you. Keep in touch

Hi,

I applied for the Express Entry BC PNP International Postgraduate stream on April 29, 2024. The status changed to "In Process" on July 11, but I haven't received any updates since. I noticed that some people received their results within two days after the status change. Is anyone else experiencing this delay? Should I email them for an update? I would be very grateful for any effective suggestions you might have.

Someone mentioned that it might take until early September due to staff leaves. He faced a similar delay a few years ago and is now a citizen. What are the chances of this happening now?

Thank you.
