Has exerybody received the email from bcpnp office the the processing time is extended to 7 months? I haven't seen any new bcpnp ipg approved since the week of 08.19. Does anyone has some more information about that? I applied the BCPNP at June 14. Do I have to wait till 2025?
BCPNP - IPG is it paused these two weeks?
- Thread starter jiachzha
- Start date
Hey did you receive any updates ? I submitted my application EEBC-IPG on 10th of September and haven't heard back from them. Did your status change? And could you share your timeline ? Thanks in advance.
New Update today from BCPNP:
"The federal government has confirmed B.C.'s allocation of provincial nominees for 2025 is 4,000. This is a 50% reduction from 2024.
The BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) is planning how to use the program in 2025 due to the reduced allocation. This will determine operational matters such as invitations to apply (ITAs) and the opening of the student streams.
The Health Authority and Entrepreneur streams will remain open.
BC PNP processing times are expected to increase for the rest of the year due to significantly reduced nominations allotted to B.C. by the federal government."
This basically tells us to wait till summer/fall 2025 for our nominations until they finalize their plans and they can continue taking their sweet time for processing and to stop bothering them with asking for updates for the rest of the year. They might now prioritize giving nominations to applicants whose work permit is ending soon this year. Not sure how having fewer nominations increases processing times, it should be faster since now there will be far less applications to go through!
I wouldn't be surprised if the status stays "in-process" for most of this year now unfortunately
