BC PNP July 2014

[CanadaPC]

Yes guys, I know, its very hard in the financial and timely manner...
We have to be strong and stick together on this forum, ok?
And keep updating for any information.

 

[Oh--!Canada]

In my case, the advisor assigned to review my application called me once requesting more documents. Since then, I have been calling that person directly instead of calling the general line or emailing the general email address posted on the BCPNP website. Every time I sent an email to the advisor, they would only reply "Please call me". I guess they are all really *busy* with processing our files and they will not give attention to your email.

Hope this may help. Cheers.

Yes, I have a friend who also was assigned an advisor and it was so much easier for the communication.
but until we get our personal advisor, there is only one general email that we all know.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if someone could answer this question for me:

If you get nominated before you submit your Express Entry addendum, can you still apply for PR through Express Entry and just state you have PNP nomination?

Or, do you need to have your PNP processed using Express Entry via the addendum to be considered for the Express Entry PR process?

Thanks.

That was their response after I asked them in email what numbers are being processed...
Which means that applications from July would be in March, April.
Stay strong guys ...

That is not completely correct... somebody with higher numbers already received their nomination.
It seems that international graduates have priorities (even if the skill level is lower...)...
The lack of clearness is very annoying..

I would add to that a lack of consistency, too..
If all advisors have objective to finish, for example,all June applications in a specific time frame, then they have to finish them.
But instead, one advisor completes in January, one in February and another one who knows when...
Seems like lack of management, too....

It also says on that same site:


The federal government sets B.C.’s quota for the PNP. This year, that quota is 5,500 nominations.

The PNP intends to fully utilize its 2015 quota of 5,500 nominations.

The BC PNP reserves the right to prioritize applications for occupations that are in high demand or that contribute significant economic benefits to British Columbia.

This makes it absolutely impossible now to know when you will be processed since they are saying that is is not being done chronologically any more but that they can pick and choose...
