Co-op more than one quarter of program time, BC PNP(International Graduate)

[Maherd]

Hi Everyone

I was looking into applying for Express Entry BC PNP - International Graduate Stream. My profile is as follows :

EDUCATION : 3 years advanced diploma from Ontario(12 months co-op included)
SKILL TYPE : NOC A
JOB TITLE : Software Developer
JOB TYPE : Full time(Indeterminate)
LOCATION : Victoria (past 1 year)
CLB : 9

My only concern is the clause in the BC PNP application guide under International Graduate Stream I quote:

" Your program of study is not eligible if you spent more than one-quarter of the program time in a co-op work term or internship."

I have difference of 3 months (1/4 of 3 years is 9 months), which makes me ineligible. Has anyone with a similar problem got their PNP successfully, please share your experience.

After calculating my score, I get estimate my registration score to be 109, which can potentially get me an invitation for PNP in the next draw. Is it worthwhile giving it a shot ? I also have a CRS score of 435 in Express Entry, would a PNP refusal have a negative impact on my Permanent Residence application..

Any information would be much appreciated

Well, I didn't apply for BC PNP but my CRS has increased to 465. So yes, I do hope to get an ITA sometime soon. Thanks !
