BC PNP Express Entry Skilled Worker or International Graduate?

[CatherineXT]

Hi,

I seem to be eligible to apply for either Express Entry BC Skilled Worker or International Graduate. I graduated in 2013 April and have worked for a year and 4months full-time under NOC code 2171. I already have an EE profile set up. Which one should I apply? Is there a quota for Express entry pnp applications? I heard from someone that it will only take 1500 applications but I cannot find that reference anywhere online.

Help please!
Any information is much appreciated!!

Dear Catherine,

It doesn't matter if you apply as a skilled worker or an international graduate as long as it is under express entry - BC PNP, as you are eligible for both. The amount of documentation that needs to be submitted is mostly the same for these categories.

The target quota for BC PNP nominees for 2015 is 5500. But mind you, this number most likely includes regular PNP applicants as well as express entry applicants.
