Moving to BC for EE PNP good option?

[ei8hteen]

Hi All,

Here's my case:

I've been working in Toronto for a year now on PGWP only to find that just a job offer would not help to get 600 points. It has to be LMIA approved.
At first I thought of moving to BC, look for a job and apply for BC PNP for 600 points, but the checklist shows a list of forms/letters required from BC employer which I'm not sure is easy to obtain.

I feel the red ones below would be difficult while green would be easy.

1. Job offer form - It's a three page form that requires details of the company and why you wanted to hire somebody on PGWP and not a Canadian
2. Recommendation letter from employer: The supporting B.C. employer must submit a recommendation letter on behalf of the nominee applicant. This letter should outline why the employer is recommending the nominee applicant for permanent residence, why he or she is suitable for the position, and how he or she would contribute to the company.
3. A copy of the offer of employment
4. Detailed job description
5. Company information
6. A copy of the Certificate of Incorporation
7. A copy of the valid B.C. Business License

What do you think guys, shall I make a move?

Your help would be appreciated
Thanks,

Hi brother,
The offer letter in BC needs to be in same field as you already worked or different occupation will work in BC PNP ????

Oh wow, sounds like BC PNP is actually though to get. Isn't the first item in the checklist pretty much the equivalent of a LMIA? Not to say that the job offer could act as a LMIA, but the company would have to explain why they hired you over a Canadian or PR, which is part of the LMIA process employers have to go through. Also for the second item in the list sounds like you will have to prove yourself worthy of the company, won't they be requesting you to work for a specific time for them before they can issue this recommendation letter?

Have you tried asking your current employer for a LMIA?
If you really think moving is the way to go, why not try to look for a job where the employer will get you a LMIA? Sounds simpler than doing this BC PNP, unless processing times for BC PNP are much shorter than LMIA's. Also, and I always say this, if you're looking for a job with a LMIA then play to your advantages. If you're very, very good at something or if you speak 1 or 2 or more languages not many people speak here in Canada then you might just be better suited than many Canadians for a specific job and you would more likely be granted a LMIA if you ask for one.

I do not think you still need to provide so many documents under new BC pnp ee. Those documents you mentioned are for regular BC PNP .
