Ray of Hope - 46th Draw

[Escobar Gaviria]

Yup, it's so expensive and has a freaking long processing time. I'm so glad that I declined OINP's ITA back in November.

As of now, BC PNP is the best PNP so far in Canada. Online registration, online application, 3 months processing time, $550 fee, great scoring and draw system. No one can beat that.

Wow! those are some encouraging words.
I was of the opinion that MPNP is the best PNP, but yeah MPNP doesn't have good prospects for physicians. BC PNP has a lot to offer.

Has anyone here been able to secure to job and then got BC PNP?

Thanking in sheer anticipation.

BC PNP has different streams. But yes in general the requirements are:
1. Masters or PhD from a BC university (Post-grad stream) or
2. Job offer from a BC employer (International grad and other streams)

Getting Job offer from BC employer is impossible for me.
Still I would like to apply for BC PNP. is it possible with any streams???
Without job offer am I eligible or not to apply for BC PNP any stream ???

Mine is Masters + CLB9 in ielts +14 years of IT exp

Depends on your skills and occupation. If you are willing to find job in the northern part of BC, your chance to get an ITA will be higher, as they reward extra points for job offer in remote locations.

These two links will have all the info you need:

You have to have at least a post-grad degree from BC to apply for the post-grad stream which is the only stream that doesn't need a job offer.

Hey does BC pnp job offer has to be LMIA approved?

 

[Alexios07]

Hey does BC pnp job offer has to be LMIA approved?

No. Again, if you have LMIA approved, why even bother for PNP?

 

[mukulabd]

Curious to know: What's a job offer without LMIA? Is it just an agreement between you and the company? If the company decides to hire you do they still have to go through the LMIA process or can they just give you a 'job offer' on the basis of which you can get 600 points, seek your PR in a couple of months and eventually they don't need to file an LMIA for you?

 

[Pippin]

People with post grad work permit don't need to get an LMIA. People with open work permits could get jobs without an LMIA. These people would have had an easier time getting a job and get points for years of Canadian work experience, but no 600 point bonus.

So let's wait till next Wednesday :

Yes must say Wednesday feel so far away , how much is your score?

 

[DamhaSirah]

We should fill up the pages fast on this thread so that it may look enough time has passed since the last draw. That's how it may look it is time for new thread ;D

Lol!

 

[Dedicated]

Likely a lot of people sitting at 471 (masters grads with 1 year Canadian experience), which might not get cleared in this draw.

Yeah... And there were "about 3000 people at 481". We all know that now...

[volodyalysak]

LOL

I never believed in that theory that there where bunch of people sitting in 481 CRS range, i'm sure there are lots of people in between 450-474 now. Anyway i think next draw will be 470-474 with around 1500 invites, unless there lots of PNP's. Or new changes get in to the effect Nov1 2016. Lets hope for best and will see. Everyone good luck

And people stop posting negative stuff here, if it's Ray of Hope Thread.

+1 to the positivity!

There may be max 2500 people stuck between 450-474 level.
Expecting a draw on next Wednesday with 2000 ITAs and a cutoff score 463+.

There will no BC PNP draw this week (+600 score). So cutoff score will come down drastically.

i believe its more than that, probably 3.5k between 450-474
reason being its been almost 7-8 months since 450 was reached in EE, so a LOT of people would have entered the pool with those scores... sure some would have had PNPs also, but i believe the backlog there is quite large. Plus OINP has been quite busy giving out nominations.

if score has to reach 450, i think we need atleast another 4-5 draws with 1800-2000 each continuosly...
