BC PNP Nomination Expired in 2023 – PR Returned Under R10. Can I Still Get an Extension?

[asiddeeq051]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for advice regarding my expired BC PNP nomination.

My timeline:

• Jan 2023: Received BC PNP nomination under the International Post-Graduate stream (non-Express Entry) after completing my master's at UVic.
• July 11, 2023: Submitted my federal PR application and received IRCC's submission confirmation.
• July 12, 2023: Nomination expired.
• Nov 2023: IRCC returned my PR application under R10 due to a missing signature on Schedule A.
• Oct 2026: Discovered that BC PNP allows extension requests in certain cases where PR was submitted before nomination expiry but returned under R10.

Current situation:

My PGWP has expired, and I'm currently in Canada on a visitor visa. I can still access my BC PNP online portal, which shows an option to apply for a nomination extension.

I didn't request an extension in 2023 because I mistakenly believed my expired nomination could no longer be extended. Also, the International Post-Graduate stream has since closed.

My questions:

1. Has anyone successfully extended a BC PNP nomination after an R10 return, especially after a long delay?
2. Is there a deadline for requesting an extension?
3. Does the closure of the International Post-Graduate stream affect previously issued nominations?
4. Could my expired PGWP and current visitor status affect the extension decision?

I have all supporting documents proving my PR application was submitted before nomination expiry and subsequently returned under R10.

I'm also contacting BC PNP directly, but I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experience.

Thanks!

It is way too late to be trying to address any issues with your 2023 nomination. You can certainly try but would be exploring new options to obtain PR.
