Kelowna BC - Job Offer and IELTS BC PNP
Hi,
So since my last post asking for advice and info, I'm happy to say my partner had an interview with a company in Kelowna BC and after a 2 week anxious wait we found out he had been offered the job. He falls into the Federal Skilled Worker Express Entry category with a NOC 0016 and the company are willing and able to back up our application into the EE pool with a written job offer detailing all the information needed.
Today we both attended our IELTS exams which we had already booked prior to him applying for the job so once we have those results back in 13days we will be able to upload those to our EE application and then send it. Once that's done we will then register with the BC PNP and apply for nomination in the hope of speeding up being drawn out of the pool. Does anyone have any experience or information or advice on whay a realistic time frame would be for us to get drawn out of the pool?
Thanks in advance

Congrats on the job offer! How quickly he’ll be given an ITA will depend on what he’s scoring? If he’s scoring enough you may find he gets an invite under the FSW program with no need to register for BC PNP.
Note that just a written job offer isn’t enough for the job offer to count for points under EE though - he’ll need a LMIA too.
Best of luck.

Re: Kelowna BC - Job Offer and IELTS BC PNP
The LMIA is a requirement showing that there is no Canadian qualified and willing for the job anywhere in Canada, not just in BC.
The company has to show that it has advertised widely for a period of months, that there have been no applicants or no qualified applicants. This process takes a matter of months and costs the company around $1000.
You and your husband have nothing to do with that process, the company has to do it all.
The PNP would definitely be better than that!

Re: Kelowna BC - Job Offer and IELTS BC PNP
I thought to enter the BC PNP we had to be in the EE pool so we were ready for paying the EE pool fee and then the PNP fee. However, after looking again after what info you gave I found that you can just register and apply to the BC PNP without the EE pool...firstly is that correct and secondly is it worth entering both or just going straight for the BC PNP?
Thanks again you guys are whizzes when it comes to this info!

You might find our wiki to be of use - will you have enough points (currently you would need in the region of 460 points) to obtain PR without BC PNP nomination ? https://britishexpats.com/wiki/Quick..._by_step_guide
If the job is as Aborist - he might be able to use the job offer to apply under EE FSW Trades, which would have a lower points requirement.

Re: Kelowna BC - Job Offer and IELTS BC PNP
Siouxie yeah we knew that the chance of even being offered an interview nevermind a job whilst in the UK with no permit would be near impossible so I'm super proud of him for nailing the interview and getting the position. So his job in Kelowna will be District Manager for the entire area of Kelownas tree work within the company which incorporates two roles really, the arb manager and the sales manager so managing the financial side of he area too. We checked all the duties on the NOC 0016 and he says he currently does every single one of the duties listed within his current role here in the UK and that the description of the job offer he has been made matches up with each duty outlined in the NOC 0016 too.

It's not the job description that has to match up with the duties for that NOC code - his previous working experience has to. He will have to prove that he has the experience already to claim that NOC code - by having letters from former employers / contracts of employment showing duties he performed etc., (it's quite specific).

Will he be hands on at all, or is this purely an office role? Will he be supervising teams of arborists on site or working alone?
