From January 2016 BC PNP will no longer be accepting addendums for EE

"Effective January 1, 2016, BC PNP Skills Immigration applicants will no longer be able to convert an existing application to an EEBC category"

I had applied my PNP in July, 2015 and was going to complete my one year experience as a supervisor in Feb, 2016. So I was gonna convert my regular into express PNP. Now that we cannot convert our regular PNP into express are there any chances of processing times coming down. BTW my work permit expires in July, 2016.

p.s. I just cannot see the end of it. They keep screwing with us.

May b we will get it on time... According to my calculations they take atleast 12 months for each file..... Like if you apply in March 2015 then u will hear something after March 2016 .... So at least 12 months from that date you have applied....

Hi,
I have a bit confusion in PNP process.
In express entry we get 600 points for provincial nomination, what does Provincial nomination mean! and after getting nomination it doesn't mean that we got Provincial Nomination?
And what are the steps/time line of BCPNP (I.e first we apply, then we get AOR (What is AOR?), then we get PR. So some one can kindly elaborate this all process.

Lastly, Is there any difference in BCPNP EE and other express entry (i.e other mean normal express entry profile which we create on cic website) and the points calculation and questions are same for both EE's?

Thanks

There is a System to get PR of Canada called Express Entry(EE) on the basis of your skills and work experience, and study etc. more likely you can say that it is a point system, and there are some categories under EE to apply... and Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) is one of them.... BCPNP EE (British Columbia Provincial Nomination Program - Express Entry ) is completely different from cic's EE. In BCPNP EE your file will accessed according to the rules and regulations set by BC's government to nominate an applicant for Federal PR. Once you have approval in BCPNP EE you will be awarded with 600 points in your cic's EE profile which you will make your points higher enough to get selected in next EE draw (Please NOTE ! that you will get 600 points only when you have applied BCPNP EE, and if you have applied under regular stream (paper file) you will not get 600 points means you cannot use your PNP to apply PR under EE in cic, you have to make a paper application to cic (As I know) ). Remember you must have an EE profile in Federal EE (cic's EE) and Job Seeker code before you apply for BCPNP (or for any PNP EE)....

So, PNP is a process in which a provincial government nominate you to Federal Government (by giving you a PNP Certificate) that he/she is eligible to live permanently in BC and in Canada (that he/she have permanent job, and he/she paying taxes properly etc.) and then Federal Govt will consider your application according to their rules and regulations in the present time when you submit your file to cic.

AOR stands for Acknowledgement of Receipt. That mean PNP office giving you an acknowledgement that they have received your file and it is complete.

Yep... But currently BCPNP is not accepting applications for 2016 ( regular PNP and EE) except North Pilot Project and Health Care workers... Don't know when they will open for 2016...keep looking their website for more information on new intake
