Yes you may and yes it depends on your salary.

Hey Chie042012, thank you so much for your prompt response. The website you provided is very useful. So Whistler belongs to "the rest of BC" not "Metropolitan Vancouver", right? If yes, I think the salary of 13~15$/hour is enough to meet the income threshold. Thank you so much again!!

Whistler is not under Metro Vancouver District. It is under Squamish-Lillooet Regional District. Hence, you are safe with your application. Meanwhile, you need to calculate your annual income based on number of hours per week. Only that way, you will be able to account for the salary range properly. Your job may require shifts (morning, afternoon or evening) and time may be different for each day.
Hope this helps!

coshx!

hi there, yes it is under the category "Rest of BC". Do you have a family? First thing to do is accept the job or do you have already?
then you will go from there. Whistler is a busy municipality that requires a lot of work. What company?

I am from Whistler

Hey Coshx, thank you for your information. Yes, I got the full-time job and employer promise 40 hours/week, but it should fluctuate based on the seasons. Coshx, you said "time may be different for each day". You mean my shifts have to change each day? If I did all morning or afternoon or night shifts, it would have problem, right?

It won't affect. I wasn't sure about the No. of hours per week. So far it is 40 hours per week, then you are covered. Do you have a spouse and kid (s)? Check the table for required funds well.

Four Seasons is a great company, one of the best in Whistler. Looking forward to meet you too. From which country are you?

Really? I know it's a nice hotel but I don't know it's one of the best in Whistler. I am from China. You?

I am not sure what category would you be able to apply under BCPNP

Strategic Occupation - your job needs to be under NOC0,A or B. I believe hotel cleaner doesn't not belong to any of them.

International Graduate - do you hold a diploma/degree from Canada?

Entry Level and Semi Skilled Worker - only these occupations in the tourism and hospitality are considered(I think this is your best bet, you will also need a English Language Test though and you need 9 months of experience before you send in your application):

Hey Anser0131, thank you for your information. Yes, I am an international student and I take a 2-year program in Vancouver. My major is Hospitality Management. I hope I could use the Entry Level and Semi Skilled Worker to apply BCPNP. Thanks again and have a nice day!

By the way, Is the precedure of applying BCPNP complicated? Can I apply it by myself or have to ask some immigration consultant to help?

You don't really need a lawyer. I did it myself but it's always good to hire someone to look through your paperwork I guess.

The process isn't complicated. Your employer needs to fill out a form and provide you some documents and it might be sensitive in some ways.

If you apply under semi-skilled, you would have to wait for 9 months and you will have to do an English test(not like it's hard anyways). However, if you apply under international graduate, you can do it right away as soon as you get hired, there is no waiting period. BUT, make sure your diploma from a recognized college.
