Hi everyone, I graduated from a college in Legal Assistant Program in 2021, and then I applied for my PGWP, now I have worked for my employer under the title of "legal assistant" for over a year. My question is, in this situation, will BCPNP consider the recruitment efforts have been met according to BCPNP guidlines "you have a valid work permit and/or employment authorization and are currently working full-time for your supporting employer in B.C. in the occupation identified in the job offer"?

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.
If you have a valid PGWP , and you are already working with your employer, you don’t have to show recruitment efforts for application.

Yes I have a valid PGWP and has been working for my employer for 13 months, so I do not have to worry about it, right?

And they sent an email, "A preliminary assessment of the above-captioned application has been initiated. In order to proceed further, the following item(s) must be provided and/or addressed: " and I already provided the info they need, may I ask if you know how long will it take to get the result? Like, anytime?

Thanks again.

Just for anyone else who has the same concern, that if you are working under a PGWP, there is no necessary for the evidence of recruitment efforts from the employer. I got approved yesterday.
