Hi,
I like to apply for BC PNP tech pilot. I am a bit confused about it. Is there a separate link for this program than the one you currently use to register for BC PNP? Or do they automatically consider you for the tech pilot once you register? Someone on the forum also posted a list of requirements for tech pilot, and English test was not one of them? Is there no English test requirement for tech pilot? I may digress a bit here, but there are certain numbers the application asks for, but I guess they will be given to you after wards once they accept your registration !?
They will automatically consider you for the tech pilot based on your NOC code.
English test is required under express entry and your CLB must be 6, but not for paper-based.

Hi Zahadum, Thank you very much for your reply. " but not for paper-based" does that mean if I do not apply online I do not need English test or I do not need CLB 6? I got my PhD in computer simulations in the field of cardiology from UK, but the certificate simply says doctor of philosophy with no degree type or department. What would that make my NOC? Thanks again.

- If your job's skill level is A then you don't need to do the test for paper-based application. Personally, I recommend you apply for express entry. It only takes 6 months at federal step compare to 19 months with paper-based.

- NOC based on your job offer's duties not on your degree. You can go to CIC website and try to get a NOC that fit into your job offer, then check if that NOC existed in the link below:

I got a job offer in BC with 6 months probation too. After 6 months, I asked my employer to support me with gathering documents for BC PNP. Then I applied and got approved pretty fast.
So I think you must wait. Someone in the below link said that BC PNP asked him to give them another job offer letter because they think he still on probation. With my case, I didn't even give them a new job offer letter, I gave them the one that I got on my first day at work which state 6 months probation.

Guys, Did any of you get job offer from outside Canada to support your BCPNP application? Please share your experience about how did you approach the employer or find employer in Canada for tech pilot program. My NOC is 2132 (Mechanical Engineer) which is in tech pilot program list but wondering if there is anyone in this group who received job offer from India.

From outside Canada, you don't get job offer and without job offer you don't get BCPNP nomination, so it is catch 22 situation for me. Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Embedded82,

Just wanted to ask on thing regarding your timeline. When you say you got the result in 3.5 months does that mean 3.5 months after you got the invite through BC Tech Pilot Draw?

Will await your response. My Timelines:

Awaiting decision

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 grocery business. 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

Hi,

can anyone share experiences of getting job offers while they were outside Canada?

I noticed that a lot of people have already asked this, but nobody answered to them. So it got me thinking that this pilot program maybe considers only Tech people that are working already in BC.

Please let me know if this conclusion of mine is wrong and please share experiences!

Thank you

Hi folks!

I applied for the BC PNP - Skilled Worker category -not Express Entry- and my application is being reviewed under the Tech Pilot.
These are my details:
Registration submitted: 2018-05-25
Invitation to apply: 2018-05-30
Application submitted: 2018-06-15
Score: 112
NOC-1123 (this NOC was included in the Tech Pilot list of in-demand occupations and they removed it on June 26. However, we contacted the BC PNP office and they confirmed my application was being reviewed under the Tech Pilot).

I am still waiting to hear from them, 6 weeks already... We contacted them to ask for information and they told us that "Processing times for 80% of BC PNP applications is 2-3 months from receipt. Tech Pilot applications are typically processed in shorter timeframes."

Has anyone else got any updates on their applications and processing times?

Thank you.

Maria.

I know some people wait for 3 months before they got nominated, but they applied for an express entry nomination. But be patient, it may take up to 3 months for paper-based nowaday.
