BC PNP - My timeline

[Daan]

Hello all,

Just wanted to share my timeline with you and let you know how quickly (or slowly) everything is going.
First off: I've been working here on a regular temporary work permit for a little over a year now and applied for the PNP with my current employer. I'm from The Netherlands, in my mid-twenties and hold a Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Information Science. I'm applying under NOC 2174 (Software Products Developer).

April 8, 2009
Sent in BC PNP application to Vancouver PNP office.

April 16, 2009
Received receipt of application from PNP office. Credit card charged.

April 30, 2009
Employer was contacted to confirm application and asked my employer some questions (how long had I been working for my employer, is my employer fond of me, was I planning on leaving). Employer was told a decision would be made very soon (same day or next day) and we would both receive written confirmation within two weeks.

May 7, 2009
Received official confirmation by e-mail from PNP notifying me of my nomination.

May 13, 2009
Received PR application package from BC PNP office.

So that's where we are now. I'm very excited obviously and will keep you up to date in this topic.

Probably you are the only one who has already posted "My Timeline"

I can imagine some people being curious and interested in how long it would or could take for a PNP application to be processed, which is the main reason I opened this topic. I just hope I can shed some light on the whole PNP situation for people who don't know how it exactly goes.

Thanks BCguy, appreciate it!
I haven't heard anything official from the PNP office, so I won't update my timeline yet.

I just followed the checklist and made sure everything that was on there was in my application.

The recommendation letter from my listed why I was valuable to the company and why he wanted to keep me. He also described what kind of employee I was (basically put in a good word) and that I was an asset to the company.

I understand one need to have a Job offer to get nomination for BC PNP?
Is that true?

Can anyone get nomination without a job offer? Because I dont know how anyone can get a job offer over phone (I am in US).

Any thoughts? (OH..BTW..Per June 2009 Visa bulletin, my US Green card is screwed to eternity)

 

[divagirl]

Yes, you need a job offer to apply for BC PNP.
