BC PNP Job offer form - Requirement and Format

[rajeevraj1302]

Hi - I have an ICT work permit and am outside Canada in US and applying for BC PNP. I have two questions regarding BC PNP JOb offer form.

1) My company HR is ready to provide Job offer letter on their letterhead with necessary details but not on the JOb offer form from BC PNP website (https://www.welcomebc.ca/getmedia/a37df2f7-8b8b-4a25-9955-9bddf85090f4/Job-Offer-Form.pdf.aspx). My employer is a big company and they have a common format for PR (Basically NO deviation from current process). Does anyone know if my offer letter will be accepted by BC PNP? 2)

2) I have a ICT WP and since it is a transfer, no recruitment was done for this position. I know if I am in Canada, the recruitment step is waived off but currently, I am in US and want to apply for BC PNP now. So, any clarifications in this regard would be appreciated. If anyone has faced similar situation or know about this situation? Thanks in advance.

What stream are you apply to?

1. The job offer form is not only a job offer but a declaration for your nomination for the program and that the company will follow the rules of the program. The company must sign an Employer Declaration so they understand and agree to their responsibilities. Page 50 of the guide outlines employer responsibilities. As it states, As well as meeting the general employer requirements, your employer must:

• give you a written job offer
• complete the employer sections of the application forms
• notify the BC PNP if there are any changes in your employment status. This includes a promotion or termination; if you have been laid off or are on extended leave; or if the business has closed or changed ownership.

2. Page 51 of the guide clearly states that the you must be working in Canada full-time. “You have a valid work permit and/or employment authorization and are currently working full- time (at least an average of 30 hours per week, year-round) for the supporting B.C. employer in the occupation identified in the job offer.” Once you are in Canada and working then you may apply for BC PNP. If not, the company needs to show that they could not hire within BC or Canada.

You are best to confirm with BC PNP.

BC PNP has several pathways. Again the guide will tell you your stream or pathway (EE, skilled, tech etc.).

To answer 1): They have to complete the Job Offer Form from BC PNP website. It's not a lot of additional information aside from the required documents. If your employer is willing to give you all the other documents, they should be okay with filling in the PNP Job Offer form. Maybe you can ask your direct supervisor instead?

2): You can explain that in writing in the section where they ask about reccruitment. They just want to know that this is a legit job and that they actually went through the common process to hire someone!
