but my question is I already informed the BC PNP, should I inform IRCC as well via a webform?
To be honest, I don't know. It seems like you are in the final stage and might be getting news about your PR application within a week or so. Maybe ask a consultant or a lawyer? I just fear that you might be complicating the situation. I am not really familiar with PNPs ...I just think that the nomination and employment evaluation part is already over (initial stages) and you might cause a huge fuss without needing to. Again, I am not an expert and don't know if there will be consequences of not informing IRCC or not (again, based on that your application is almost finalized) .

Thanks, another thing is how I can check the tracker? do you have any link or guide?

I found it the background check is still in progress, and yes that is I'm afraid too, if I inform them it lead to a huge fuss

Maybe wait for a week or so before sending a web form. I am still not sure why you have to inform them. You applied for PNP and met the eligibility criteria at the time...You passed all the requirements and 90% of the stages. I would wait for a week or two and see if there is progress with the security processing. Once again, I strongly believe you should speak with a lawyer or immigration consultant first before sending anything to the IRCC. Getting the PR is already getting pretty tough.

yeah I already informed BC PNP about it because they mentioned that we should inform them about it, but IRCC not sure, also on the tracker I can see there is a note that IRCC said we received your documents on 21 Oct the day that I informed the BC PNP, and now I'm not sure if my previous company sent a webform to IRCC or the BC PNP some how has a linked mail to IRCC.
and regarding the lawyer I don't know I don't want to spend 500 CAD to just hear okay you should send or not an email to IRCC you know it's a lot of money for this thing

It seems that your application status has been updated when you informed the BC PNP with the situation (according to your tracker). I would just wait, you did your part and if your former employer was the one who sent a webform (or the BC PNP ) to inform IRCC, then it won't make any sense to resend a webform. You did your part and BC PNP didn't instruct you to notify IRCC (separately).
If you ever decide to consult a registered consultant, let me know. The one that helped me out was USD100/45 mins and answered all my questions.
I wish you best of luck and will pray things turn out for the best and what happened with your job won't affect your application.
Let me know how it goes.

Hello everyone,

I have a question, right now due to unfortunate situation I got laid off after 3 years of working, on Oct 22 from that company, they were my sponsor for BC PNP, I got my ITA in Jan 2024 and I submitted the PRO application on Feb 19, and still no update from IRCC, my question is regarding informing IRCC, I already informed BC PNP about my laid off on a same day Oct 22, they asked me to look for a job nothing more, but I don't know if I should inform IRCC via Web form or not, my BC PNP is not restricted to a specific employer also I have an open work permit,

Medicals are passed
Criminality is passed
Eligibility is passed
Security is still ongoing


Regards,
If you have lost your job , you are supposed to inform BC PNP and submit post nomination request online. If you already notified them , you should start looking for a new job if possible with same TEER code and then submit Post nomination request online through your account. They will ask for some documents from your employer regarding your your new job . You don’t have to notify IRCC as BC PNP will automatically update officer working on your application. If you can’t find job , PNP will revoke your nomination and IRCC will cancel your PR application so find job asap as BC PNP only give you 90 days to find mew job .

Yeah I already informed BC-PNP, I'm trying to find a new job, I'm sending resume since the day I got laid off, on the other hand BC PNP didn't gave me a time frame! they just said we expect from you to find a new Job that's it! nothing more, this is what they sent to me

"
In the event of a loss of employment, it is our expectation that you will seek alternate employment in B.C. as well as continuing to meet the conditions of your nomination which includes maintaining full-time employment in B.C.

The BC PNP may consider changes in your employment after you have been nominated if your new position continues to meet the requirements for nomination and if you can demonstrate that you continue to have the ability to economically establish in B.C. If the change of employment is accepted, the BC PNP will review your circumstances to determine if a work permit support letter is needed to allow you to obtain a work permit, and if so, will issue one at that time.

they said may, but they didn't give me a certain time!

As I told you, they never give proper response unless you have emailed your Program officer or case review officer. That help centre gives you general reply as they gave you right now . Onus is on you to meet conditions of your nomination certificate. So find Job asap .

I will try my best, it's not under my control tbh, I'm sending around 20-30 resume daily right now, and what if they IRCC make a final decision in the middle of all of things, do you have any idea?

Are you going back to work with same employer? If yes then won’t be issue but if you got permanently laid off and not returning back to work with same employer, you should wait for PNP office to reply back to you. Also send another email to PNP office again now .

it was a permeant laid off, I sent another one after they sent me that response, but they told me this on their first email too

Thank you for notifying us of the change to your employment situation. This information has been added to your file.
"

me second email:
Many thanks for your response, and I should say yes, I started looking for a job yesterday and hope to find one soon. On the other hand, my wife is working at good company with a sufficed salary, so I don’t anticipate any financial issues. However, I wanted to ask if Is there a deadline I should be aware of? Also, what happens if I receive the final decision before finding a job?

their response:

The BC PNP may consider changes in your employment after you have been nominated if your new position continues to meet the requirements for nomination and if you can demonstrate that you continue to have the ability to economically establish in B.C. In making this determination, the BC PNP may consider, but are not limited to, the following factors:
  1. the circumstances regarding your termination or cessation of employment
  2. the amount of time you have been unemployed
  3. your ability to secure alternative employment with a BC PNP eligible employer
  4. whether you remain in B.C. and can continue to demonstrate the ability and intent to live, work and economically establish in B.C.
Additional information may be requested to assess whether the BC PNP can offer continued support of a nomination. The BC PNP may provide you with an opportunity to respond to any evidence or concerns raised during this assessment.

We cannot speak directly to any potential impacts the change of employment may have on your ongoing permanent residence application. We do not notify IRCC of changes of circumstances on behalf of nominees – you will be responsible for notifying IRCC of any changes. For inquiries regarding federal immigration programs and processes, please contact IRCC or visit www.cic.gc.ca.

Please note that failing to inform us of a change in your employment status could lead to a withdrawal your nomination or could result in questions from IRCC when they process your application for permanent residency.

Thank you for your interest in the BC Provincial Nominee Program.
