Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to know how much time its take for process?

Thanks & Regards

Submitted the application or sent an email of interest?

I know couple of people around me, who have received emails that their quota for certain NOCs is full. There applications will be processed in Jan 2017, when quota will be available again for 1200 applications.

Also, you will most likely need a job offer from PEI employer to increase your chances.

Hi,

Thanks! for the response.
Agreed that a job offer from the PEI employer increases the chances of getting selected for PNP, however i have applied for many job offers the response is that they prefer locals & immigrants present in PEI itself. How are we then suppose to qualify then.

My NOC-0122

Regards
Rajeev

That's true; many jobs I was not eligible to apply as they hire only Canadian or Permanent Resident of Canada. Getting a job offer I would say very tough and rare without that status. I got the impression the provinces block people through this requirement.

EOI is sent by you. They send you ITA Invitation to apply and you have to apply paying the fees. Have you already applied?

 

[rajiv_1607]

Still waiting for ITA. Any idea how long does it take approximately for ITA to be issued?
EOI was lodged on of 3rd September 2016.

I think it's like a job application. If they want you they will call you, if not, they will never contact you.

What to do if someone has a tough time in finding job (IT) in provinces like PEI, NB, NS? Provinces like NB seem to have very strict intent to reside clause, and they for sure won't like someone moving out even if someone proves that no jobs were available. Although there is a argument that a PR could move anywhere, a day is not far where even the Canadian govt. gets stricter on this seeing constant abuse on people jumping provinces.

I definitely understand that initial struggle would be there in any province for landing in a proper job, but these three provinces seem to have very little contribution to the Canadian economy (less than 2%), and I am not sure how far one would be able to stretch even with $20 or $30k CAD that one brings in as funds to get a job related to their profession in provinces with limited scope for job creation itself. In job portals only handful of jobs (only between 10 - 200) are getting listed even for common skill sets like SQL, Java.

Anyone two cents or experiences? What are plans of people who are seeking nomination from these provinces?

I was in a same situation as yours. I don't like the 20-30 K job either, but I had no other option.

I would suggest:

- If you CRS of 470+, then don't apply for PNPs.
- If your score is lower than 470, then I would check PNPs in the following order (based on IT industry):
- Ontario
- British Columbia
- Alberta
- Mon Projet Quebec (Year long process)
- Nova Scotia
- New Brunswick
- Manitoba
- Saskatchewan
- Prince Edward Island (Mostly Call Centers)
- Newfoundland (Mostly Call Centers)
- and Lastly, Northern Territories....Yukon, NWT and Nunavut. (Close to None IT Industry)

See when I get to Canada I would LOVE a 30k salary. It will be a HUGE loss compared to my salary now but I'm prepared to start again with a new company and work my way up, as well as living in such a beautiful country. Completely outweighs the financial side. I'd work twice as hard as I do here for half the cash.

Salary, however low, would not be an issue to start with as long as it is in your profession. Would be okay to work in a completely unrelated low skilled profession for that salary? That would set back your career big time. Also provinces like NB does not mention the number of years they want you to give commitment in the intent to reside form. It could theoretically be interpreted as something as long as you get citizenship. Would be okay to stick to that unrelated low skilled profession (or province) for all those 5 or 6 years?
