Hello everyone,

I'm gathering information about PNP in British Columbia.

In May 2012 it will be a year of skilled work experience in retail as an assistant front store manager (current work) plus 16 months in retail experience as a service clerk.

In April 2010 i finished a 2 year diploma in contemporary music and technology at Nelson, British Columbia.

I've been with this company for 20 months and I asked if they will apply for me under PNP.

My question is, should I choose the skilled worker or the international graduate category? any pros and cons?

Thanks in advance

No expert on the whole PNP yet, but seems it would be straightforward to apply for PNP in skill level 0,A,B (assuming your duties as assistant front store manager qualify). If your employer is willing to sponsor you, why not apply tomorrow? A second thought, and you will have to read up on this....I heard that Canadian Experience of 2 years was a certain way to achieve PR and you are just a few months short of achieving that. I don't think you would require any sponsorship for that category, but PLEASE check out the website to be sure.
Read the thread "PNP after Graduation" for more suggestions.
Good Luck.
