British Columbia express entry

Hi Everyone,

I have started this thread for all those who are eligible to apply or applied for BC PNP.
I have a question,
"What does qualifying job offer means under PNP?"

As PNP nomination will give 600 points, do we need a job offer that is LMIA approved. As I am currently working in BC which is a skilled job as per NOC ( skilled level B) do I need to ask my employer for LMIA process or should I straight away apply for BC PNP.

P.S. I have completed my Masters from Canada, so eligible under BC international graduate program for Canadian degree.

I have recently received BC PNP without LMIA approved job. You still need to have NOC 0,a, or b job and at least one year of experience to qualify .

I applied under the regular PNP stream not express entry in July , received my PNP on Jan,6th. I decided that i want to go thru ee stream instead of regular PNP and it took them about 10-14 days to review my profile and renominate me.
Im not sure how long it will take them if you apply for BC PNP EE stream but girl in pnp office told me that now EE pnp is there main focus so they try to get everyone eligible asap

It is not mandatory to have work experience to apply bc pnp.. 1 year experience is required to create EE profile

Reference:
(1) Welcome BC - Processing Times

 

[Jaiveer Singh]

I read only 1350 candidates will be nominates by Bc pnp in 2015 as i read 5500 will be nominated. It means after 1350 no candidates will get 600 points?
