Hi friends,
I'm following an immigration lawyer in BC, though I haven't started any process with him yet, he is urging to apply for PR through LMIA and than express entry route. I'm very worried in trusting that as I think getting positive LMIA is very difficult or everyone would be running after it. still I'm not sure..I have completed my masters in Administration from BC and working for almost 11 months with a BC based food processing company as Administrative supervisor. My employer is willing to support with papers but I'm terrified and puzzled what to do? the current points score for PNP is 85 points..and I don't have any skilled work experience during previous years..please give your input..so I can look for my direction.thanks

Compute for your CRS in Express Entry, your score may be high enough to get an ITA without going the LMIA or PNP route:

If your score is 451+, then you have a very good chance in Express Entry.

I'm guessing your consultant prefers the LMIA route not just because they can get more in fees from you, but because they are not familiar with Express Entry, as is the case with my consultant.
