Thanks mate, i don't know the exact date, but :-\has been called for an interview on tuesday. Hope the result is positive. One of my other friend applied on 28 october. She hasn't got the file number yet. Why they are so late? Do you know how long the file number takes. Well i am applying next week as well. So all fingers crossed

Thank you for your help.

i will take definitely more than 14 weeks , pretty soon they are changing rules too about PNP. It may happen in February or July 14.

 

[jazz_dhami]

oh really ? what changes they gonna make according to you or your source ?

 

[Knada]

you may noticed that every province had easier rules then they change it into harder criteria such as Winnipeg 6 Months and for now on its 1 year, Saskatchewan 6 months then 1 and i now i think its more difficult. Moreover, BC PNP has receiving too many complaints regarding employers and Immigration consultants. Because they forced students and workers to apply through their Accountants or Immigration agents, and definitely they take their big share of money. i know $8-10,000 is simply charged for applications. so may b BC PNP will change its rules for example ...9 moths to 1 year , IELTS for NOC 0 A B and little bit they will tight the rope for employers and immigration consultants.

I hope new rule ill b in favor of workers and students.

i guess that gonna happen soon. if you have noticed they are doing more inquiries about your job and your employer as compare to six or seven months ago. They are getting strict. but i hope this program continues, as it is helping a lot of people to get well settled.

Best wishes to everyone. Thank you for replying @Knada
