Applied for PR and BOWP but offered a promotion! What to do?!

[Alexgrant88]

Hey everyone, I applied for PNP PR non express entry on the 16th of December 2022 and my BOWP mid March 2023. I'm currently working on an IEC open work permit and I've been offered a promotion at my current employer. I'm just wondering if this promotion will affect my PR application?

If it is the same NOC it won't, but you still need to notify the province if you have not received your nomination yet. Remember they will know someway, it is better to be proacttive and inform them

It's a different NOC but I've already received my nomination and applied for PR already. That's why I was wondering what would happen with my PR application, I've already applied and I'm being offered this promotion. Like I said above, I do have an open work permit already and I've applied for a new one. My job is also in the same company, I'm just going to be a supervisor

Whether or not your NOC changes it doesn't matter - a change to tittle/duties and certainly being granted managerial duties automatically triggers the requirement for you to disclose of a change to your working conditions to the province.

You would have applied for PNP under a NOC. You're entitled to keep working as you're on an IEC open work permit - so what you can do has no restrictions, however, that nomination certificate would have been linked to 1 NOC.

So: you'll need to notify your PNP office and submit details of your new role, and obtain a revised nomination to transmit to IRCC. If you don't do this, you'll be in trouble later.

This is exactly the reason I refused a promotion until my PR was clear.

So I just spoke with Alberta immigration this morning and they said there is no problem with changing my occupation as my nomination was based on the experience I had as a train driver. They won't issue a new nomination certificate.

I'm glad you disclosed it and there was no action on your part. SINP wouldn't have been okay with this and asked me to redo the process, Alberta is more relaxed in this regard. My promotion was deferred for a whole year, but who cares. PR means more than that
