It would be GREAT if someone could offer me some insight into this.
I work for an employer in B.C where one employee is already a nominee.
I am about to submit an application and am wondering if there are any restriction anyone knows about to do with multiple
nominees at the same company??
Any help would be great!
Cheers
J

There is no limit to how many PNP applicants they can sponsor. In AB there is such a limit but for low skilled workers only.

No but I have known a lot of guys in AB who got their PR through PNP. Many of them were working for the same employer as well.

Hey Leon. You seem to have a decent amount of knowledge here, could i bug you with one more thing...
My common law partner is also with me in canada, under full employment, noc code B, she is on a company sponsored work permit, ie; LMO for her current job.
During the process (provided all our paperwork is in order, and I am nominated at the principal b.c pnp applicant) will the pnp office keep her work permit valid?

Once you get your nomination, you will not need an LMO any more to extend your permit but you will still have to extend it. If you are on a skilled permit (O, A or B), your spouse can get an open work permit based on your permit. That way if you get yours extended, she could also get one for the same amount of time.

That's what i thought.
Im currently on a work permit under a job title that is not O, A or B, BUT under my new contract (the one i am applying for B.C pnp with) i am.
I only asked because i didnt think CIC would change the status of my partners work permit to an OPEN arrangement that easily.

Until you get a new permit for an O, A or B skilled position, your spouse is not eligible for an open work permit.
