BC is a joke now. It is the most difficult program now. The points system is very complicated and detailed (points for everything).
I don't understand why they made it so difficult to come to BC. Moreover if I have job offer and LMIA - why on earth will I apply for BC and pay their fees if I can go straight to Federal EE? This is really laughable

I suppose the people who developed new rules and new system are very ignorant in immigration process.

Hi,

I have a question and I don't know if this is a right topic for it.

My wife just finished her Master's degree from UBC and we want to apply through PNP. What is the difference between "Skills Immigration BC - Post-Graduate" and "Express Entry BC - Post-Graduate"? and which one takes less processing time?

Thanks,

I do not know what BC PNP was like before, but it looks like it is similar to Express Entry now. It will be very hard to achieve the minimum points requirement. I hope that they will eventually minimize that point requirement when they see the profiles of applicants. Will it go down with every draw from the pool?

The BC PNP is also for people with semi-skilled occupations who are not eligible under the Federal EE. If you are eligible under the Federal EE and you think that the Federal EE is better, go to EE. No need to offend anyone. This is their province and they can do whatever they want and whatever they think will improve the program and make it faster and more transparent. It is on us to adapt and make the most of it.

Please, read the guide on the pages of BC PNP. I am not allowed to link the guide or their official page.
You can also create a BC PNP online account and fill it out without submitting. Log out, then log in again and you should be able to see your calculated score.

If your wife qualify for federal express entry then you can apply for Express Entry BC - Post Graduate if not then you have to apply to skills Immigration BC - Post Graduation. Thanks

So is express entry better ? I believe I might be eligible for express entry as well, however skilled stream seems to be easier ? Not sure ...I am looking at the international post graduate stream. Thanks !
