Some questions I had before applying:
- Do I need an English test to apply?
For the EE Yes. For the BC PNP EE stream you need to meet the EE requirements and one of the them is the Language test.
For the Non Express Entry is not a requirement.
- Does the Postdoc experience count as work experience for EE?
I applied using my postdoc experience as the work experience with the NOC 4011. I don't have a fellowship so I get pay directly from the university.
- How long does it take to get the 600 points in your profile after nomination?
I got the 600 points the same day I got PNP nomination.
Hope this helps to future applicants. I'll keep updating my timeline here
I was wondering what NOC should I put in my EE profile? I had two years of experience as Chemist, should it be my primary NOC? But I am actually not relying on that experience, I am relying on the BCPNP nomination.
