I have a question about BC PNP for the express entry skilled worker program.

I just got invited to apply for the BC PNP under express entry BC - Skilled Worker. They gave me 104 points. I am confused by one of the conditions that says, "Experience in a related occupation at a NOC skill level equal to or greater than the NOC code of the B.C. job offer may also be included if, at the time of application, you can satisfactorily demonstrate how this work experience is directly related."

Here is my situation, I am applying with a job offer under NOC 2142 but my experience is based on NOC 2212 and NOC 9417 because I was progressively promoted from lower positions to a higher position(my current post.) Does that mean, I don't qualify for the skilled worker BC PNP? If yes, is there any BC nominee program that I can apply for? Moreover, they gave me 10 bonus points for related experience and 6 points for more than 2 years of work experience. I am really confused by this. Would you advice me to just risk it and send in an application?

Thank you so much for your anticipated help.

Hi!
Just wondering if any october applicant under eebc-intl graduate got their nomination certificate?

I applied on October 13 and have not heard anything from them. But my friend applied earlier this Nov and he got his nomination. What's your NOC code?

My is 1311. It falls in B category. Seems like applications in 0 and A are getting priority. I have two friends applied in A category after me and they have got their nominations. one of them got in like 6 days.

I feel that at this point of time, the BCPNP officers assess applicants in the order of their registration score and English proficiency test score.

Hi!
that is just pure speculation. i don't know what criteria or order they follow but my guess would be first come, first serve basis for majority of the applications.

I dont think so its first come first serve. What I think its completely depends on the officer.

LMAO! I actually have that thought too! Because I so remember there was an outage on October 27th, and I submitted my application on the same day, got selected on October 28th. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for the observation lol
Usually, do they announce the outage one day before the actual outage, or is it within the same day? Still waiting for the next draw

Hi Everyone. I really need your advice. I recently applied for the BC PNP nomination under the Skilled Immigration: International Graduate and I am awaiting the result. However, I just realized that the Skilled Immigration: International graduate category falls under the Non EE stream which implies that I will submitting a paper based application for the PR application. I read that this takes up to 16 months.
The unfortunate thing about this is that my current work permit expires in Jan 2018 which is less than 16 months from now. My thinking before now was that once I get nominated, I'll be able to use it to apply on the Express entry program.

As it is now, I don't know what to do. Either to withdraw my application and re register under the EE BC international graduate stream. or is there a way around this. please give me your candid advise. Thanks

You can apply bridging open work permit once your paper application to CIC is accepted, AOR received and your work permit is expiring in 4 months, if you don't want to withdraw your non-EE application.

If you want to withdraw your non-EE application, just withdraw and apply again under EE category.

If you do qualify either category, you are free to choose any of them, even for non-EE category has a way to extend your work permit until your PR application is finalized.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your response

Does anyone know if BC PNP will continue smoothly once this year ends? I read that the government has announced 2017 quota but I am not sure if the provinces have received their 2017 allocation. I am afraid it will pause for six months like Ontario :-[

Just out of curiosity.
Can anyone share the average time to get a nomination after AOR?
Are the timeline of SI PNP and EEBC similar?

EE BC AOR - May 4, 2016
Nomination - Jul 21, 2016
