BCPNP OLD ROUTE Mar 2015 applicants - any nominations received?

[helenaD]

Hi there,
Our cousin applied Mar 31 2015 for BCPNP and has not received nomination yet (14 months!). Anyone else here with similar timeframe? He was contacted for further info - updated personal history form in March 2016, and provided all info required. His points are not high enough (450ish) for EE, so he needs to continue to apply via old route. He was too late to switch his application to EE, and so needs to proceed with old PNP paper application for PR. His IEC permit expires on Aug 4th. If he gets the PNP nomination in the next few weeks, can he immediately apply for a new work permit with a PNP work permit support letter, or does the PR application need to be at a certain stage. He will likely apply for a BOWP to try to gain some time on 'Implied' status, but is aware this will likely be declined. Any advice or input would be appreciated. His employer said they will apply for an LMIA if necessary, but this is unlikely to be granted - he is NOC 0711 ( construction project coordinator) and working in Vancouver.
thanks,
H.

Once he gets the PNP nomination, he can apply for a closed work permit by flagpoling the border. However, this would require an additional " offer of employment to LMIA exempt individual form" called the IMM5802 to be completed by the company prior to going to the border. IMM5802 application can only be made after he receives the nomination. If he wants to apply for a BOWP, he would need to submit his PR application first and receive a case number otherwise the BOWP application would be rejected. No, you cannot apply for BOWP with only the nomination letter, and No, you cannot apply for BOWP at the border by flagpoling.
