I received my PNP yesterday!! ;D
It came with a work permit support letter. I've already applied for a work permit but it hasn't been processed yet. I think I'll try to get it at the border instead.

Thanks 
Still need ITA to get my PR application going but hopefully the work permit keep me going for a while.
I submitted under BC PNP EE on Feb 13.
When going to the border, I've been advised to take my passport and old work permit, the receipts to show I submitted an application for a new work permit, my job offer and recommendation letter from my company, and a copy of my qualifications. Also need to take fee payment receipt to show company has paid employer compliance fee for LMIA exempt work permit.

Yeah similar, although my buddy who did it in February, took the IMM 1295 Application for a work visa made outside of canada!VisaStress said:Thanks

yes it only came in in February. I only found out about it this week too (although I had already applied for a new work permit). Hopefully it wont be an issue.
Good luck at the border. Which one are you going to?
Let us know how you get on.

Got a year visa at the border after hard work. They wanted the whole acceptance package but that comes in the mail and I didn't have time to wait.
I went to a small border but if I could again I'd go somewhere busier so they were more likely to have seen this happen before.

Congratulations! You must be so relieved
Did you have the BC PNP support letter?
Did you manage to get the Employer Compliance Fee and form before you went?

I had the work support letter. I took lots of forms and a copy of my expresd entry points page. My boss paid the compliance fee overnight from Germany.
The border agent called me up and asked what it was and why I only paid it today. So I explained and she sent me to sit back down.
I definately got the impression they had never seen this before as there was lots of discussion and a not so pleasant french man who I heard say "I would not issue this."
He actually put me in a nervous mood straight away as I said "Hi I've been nominated by BC and I'm here to pick up a work vias. Here is my documentation. "
I got the shrugged off sarcastic response of "and...."

That's sounds like a very unpleasant experience. Fantastic that you got the permit though.
I'm going to try tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well.
