Hope you're all well, wherever you are.
I wanted steal a few of your minutes and pick your brains and get some opinions on how I should proceed with my BCPNP application ...
Currently, my situation is:
- I'm an Englishman nominated under the BCPNP Tech program (NOC 2175).
- My paper PR application has been received and should be processed by May 2020.
- Unfortunately, being a start-up I, along with 15 others, have lost the job I was nominated under, 4ish months into the permit
(closed WP expires mid-2020).
Now, what's going on?
- Thankfully, I have amassed 12 months work total
(8 months under a previous IEC visa) - Meaning, I qualify for EE with a low 313 points
(Validated with creation of a second CIC account) - After 4 months looking, I've a new tech job offer on the table
(Same NOC code).
Ahhh, but however:
- Due to a busy BCPNP, to get a new Work Permit Support Letter to change my work permit can take up to 3 months
[making the scheme to expedite work permits for tech workers redundant] - And, I'm worried the new employer won't wait that long and "undo" the offer.
Which is fine as the job is a means-to-an-end and not something I'm going to enjoy doing long term - in fact, I'd rather not have to do the job.
So, my apparent options:
- Do nothing:
Continue as normal with the paper process BCPNP? Even though I may not have this job, but maybe another one will turn up? Risk that I won't qualify for nomination when it comes to crunch time
- Be a bit naughty:
Run 2 BCPNPs at the same time of Paper and EE, using 2 accounts.
- Go all in:
Withdraw from the paper process and go "all in" for the BCPNP EE.
Meaning, not getting a work permit for the new job, or do the job itself? This correct?
- Other:
Is there something I've missed? Like, give up?
A few considerations:
- I'm more concerned with my time than money, so paying double for applications, isn't too much of a problem.
Really appreciate your time, replies, opinions and advice in advance!
