BCPNP Skilled Immigration: Median Pay? For NOC 2282

[iecholderincanada]

Hello,

Quick Question:

I make a couple dollars below the median pay for my NOC (based off from the Work BC Govt website). But I have more than enough scores for my SIRS points. Do I need to make the median pay for my job as stated in the work BC site or can a couple dollars less an hour be okay?

I've spoke to a couple Immigration consultants and one has said it wont matter for me as I have a high SIRS point score and another said I should make the median (which is $30/hr for my job).

Any suggestion will help me greatly.

Thanks in advance.

This is not what i'm referring to. I'm referring to, 'have been offered a wage competitive with B.C. wage rates for the occupation'.
