Recieved BC pnp certificate

[ymanoelpia]

my TWP will expire on july 2009, I already recieved my BC pnp certificate, but before applying for PR can i go on vacation first this may and return on june, does it will have conflict with my PR application?

Double check with BC PNP.  Are you leaving this employer now or coming back?  I know in AB they would cancel your application if they heard you had quit the employer who sponsored you and that goes even if you already have a certificate and have applied for PR.  Taking a vacation would be ok.

i will be coming back for the same employer. i am a little bit worried coz if i will take a vacation this may and come back on june, i only have 1 month left before my work permit expires. Do i have to apply first for new work permit before taking my vacation? I am going to pursue my PR application after I came back. Is it good to submit first my PR application before taking a vacation or the other way around?

I don't think it matters.  If you apply for a work permit extension a month before it expires should be fine.

Why dont you file before you go???

[ymanoelpia]

Thank you leon, ill just renew my work permit before i go. I still have to prepare all my documents before submitting my PR application, I want to get my police certificate personally and as well as reunited with my family at the same time.

I think there is an expiration date on PNP certificate.

[BCguy]

Yes 180 days,If you dont use it by then,We cancell it and you have to start all over again

i just recieved it this week and planning to take vacation on May to June before submitting my PR application, so I still have enough time to submit before its expiry. But as of now I am planning to renew my work permit first and I want to know how long does it take to get a new one.
