Hi,

I completed my Masters from a University in BC (eligible under BC PNP - IPG stream) and have a CRS score of 510. I have a PGWP of 1 year (expiring November 30, 2023) so I would like to apply to a stream with faster processing times. Since, I am eligible for both EE (FSW) and BC PNP (International post graduate stream). Which stream would have faster processing times (end-end)? It would be great if someone could share their recent timelines?

Thank you in advance :)

You should already have an ITA right now if you've created a profile in the express entry since 510 is already above the current cut-off. Otherwise, go with FSW and maybe you'll be invited to the next draw and start processing your application for PR.
Applying for BCPNP would add several months in your processing times, from creating a profile in BCPNP, waiting for their ITA, submitting your application, and waiting for your nomination, which would be, on average, three mos, and waiting again for another ITA from IRCC.

Express Entry since you have 510 with your education and IELTS.
