BC PNP - Tech Pilot Program Info

[spreethi289]

Hello All,
I am exploring BC Tech pilot program (as I am likely to get a job offer in that province) and found the below info "Individuals who have been nominated and who meet the conditions of their nomination will receive a work permit support letter that allows them to obtain or renew their current work permit allowing them to work throughout the process."
Does it mean that I can work in British Columbia after getting a nomination and before getting PR?
Please advise. Thanks in advance

I believe that they would give you a support letter to apply for a work permit if nominated.

Ooh ok. Thanks. Any idea about how long will it take to get work permit after getting the supporting letter?

Depends on how you apply. If you are eligible to apply at POE then that is the fastest means of obtaining WP as it's usually issued on the spot. I'm a US citizen so I was eligible to apply at POE and was issued the WP on the spot although I didn't apply with a support letter. However, I would think that it's the same.

Do you have to be in the EE pool to apply for BC tech pilot???
Do you need LMIA ???

Hi All,

I have queries regarding BC Tech Pilot PNP Program. I am from IT background having 5+ years of experience. My CRS is 374 currently. I am looking on BC Tech PNP program to migrate in BC.

• One of my known runs his own business but not IT related. Can he invite me their with the position of software engineer. The case is, he want to automate his business, building web site etc.

• Will he need LIMA for that.

• If he starts the process then how much time will it take?

• What are the IELTS requirements?

Thanks
