PNP for ON

[Malik87]

Does Ontario pnp holder is eligible to get 600 points? And how about alberta? I saw a news on alberta gov website that pnp holders cannot get 600 points under EE

Ontario gives you 600 points for EE, but it's still not open yet to apply, you'd be lucky if u applied a year ago and got it now

Wrong ontario wont give u 600 points

So in this case its better to ask my company to get lmia instead of applying pnp?

There are 2 different kind of PNP, regular PNP with regular paper application for PR, and special EE PNP which will give you 600 points. So old PNP won't give you any points and EE PNP are just few of them, for example BC has 5500 PNP for 2015 but just 1350 of them will be EE PNP.

It means if i apply pnp i need to apply paper application for pr? Under what catogory i will apply for that and how long it takes for the whole process..
Thanks for reply

No. When you will apply you have to choose regular PNP or EE PNP. I am not sure about processing time but I know that regular PNP takes a very long time to get and then you have to submit paper application for PR based on that PNP. EE PNP will get priority so will be processed faster and with that you can apply for PR though EE. But EE PNP are very limited so if I were you I would apply now.

Currently i am in Ontario and unfortunately Ontarion dont have EE pnp working right now so i can only apply for regular pnp but on the other hand i have option for applying lmia through my company so which one will be easier and faster??

 

[Monija]

Not sure. Just check processing times for all of those and then decide.

If u already have pnp, why r u hrry in applyimg lmia. Just file paper application for pnp. You will eventually get pr.

 

[Malik87]

I dont have pnp but iam planning to apply through my employer but if takes that long than i believe lmia will be better option.

 

[PK_11]

If ur employer is planning for PNP, and if u r in Ontario that first stage PNP prescreening will take around 4 months or more. Applying PNP is second stage which is around 3 to 4 months.
If ur wages is more than or equal to median wages provided in ur region, than u can go for LMIA else PNP is option.

I am earning 19$ per hour and median for ontario is 21$. On job bank the median wage for noc code 9421 is 18 so what will be the outcome if i go for lmia? Do i stand in low wage catogory?
