Hi Folks,

It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me, and I really need your help.

A friend of mine has 600 points from BC PNP as well as 1-year Canadian experience, so he is eligible for CEC.

Can you tell me for what program he will receive an ITA?

When he receives CEC, he will not need to show proof of found, but if ITA falls under PNP, he will need to show proof of found. According to the IRCC, only applicants who apply under CEC or have valid job offers (LMIA/LMIA exempt) are not required to show proof of found.

Do you agree with that? does all PNP applicant who will get federal ITA under PNP need to show proof of found?

Everything is in BC PNP program guide. If your friend selected EEBC (express entry BC pnp) then he will receive ITA for express entry.

Provincial and federal requirements are completely different things. If CEC doesn't need proof of funds, but your province needs it or you need a minimum income level for a provincial nomination, you must show it (to BC PNP) and satisfy it/maintain it.

If he's under CEC and has a nomination from BC, it would show on his profile. He wouldn't need a POF since he's CEC and would also get an ITA due to the additional points obtained from BCPNP.
He would need one if he got invited under FSW even if he has provincial nomination.
