Fair enough. I can appreciate your point of view. But I hope on some level you can see where I'm coming from as well.

fenomenalb, you say: "Who are you to say that everyone who has been nominated is guaranteed a PR in the first place?" The approval rating for provincial nominees at the federal level is 96%. The approval rating at the provincial level is something like 94%. Why? Because it's a broken...

Yes, exactly. Nominees were given priority over other PR applicants. This aspect of the PNP has made it incredibly popular among prospective immigrants (like yourself). In turn, visa offices have been flooded with PNP applications thus accounting for the slower processing time. Add to this, the...

Sorry for the confusion. There are 3 different streams for the NS PNP: 1) skilled worker stream 2) family business stream & 3) the community identified stream Your individual circumstances would dictate which stream you're most suitable for. The community stream doesn't require a job offer.

I wouldn't get too upset, if I were you. You should be pleased that they're processing your application. I don't think you have anything to worry about. The process may just take a little longer than you anticipated. No big deal! If there was something wrong with your application you'd have...

Sorry Tina, Just one last question, if you don't mind? Are you a community identified applicant? Thanks in advance.

Maybe CIC made a mistake. Call or write them and share your concerns and seek clarification. Stress to them that you never lived in these places. If that fails then just order the PCCs from these countries. How long did CIC give you to send them in? By the way, which stream (of the PNP) did...

Hi Tina, Has your husband visited the UK?

Hi Tina, I have a friend from China who had a similar experience. He made frequent business trips to the U.S. but never resided there. As a result, CIC asked him to produce a PCC (from the U.S.) when he applied for PR after receiving a B.C. nomination. Instead of obtaining the PCC, I believe...

Congrats Sandy, I'm glad things worked out! Cheers

Quote from original post by Sandy: "I was told to stop working as I no longer have implied status" I was just using the info I was given - geez!

If I understand your situation correctly; then i think you'll have to leave the country, apply for a job within Alberta and use the offer of employment alongside a letter of support from the nomination office to re-apply for a Work Permit. Staying in Canada without status will only hurt your...

Quick correction... A supporting letter from the nominating province is a valid substitute for an LMIA. A job offer is still required, however.
