Lmia and twp application

Re: Lmia and twp application
As the company that's offering me a job is also offering my partner a job, would that count in the application process? As in, to provide evidence that our combined income would be enough for us to settle economically? Or would it have to go solely off my job offer as I'm the PA and he's my sponsee?
HTH.

Hahaha whatever you want! For real though, once we're out there in our new jobs if you're in BC I owe you dinner on the house!

Well if you're ever in Chester let me know, i run a wicked pub with great ale and homemade food!!
One more question regarding the BC PNP route; if I get a provincial nomination and we move out in 3-4 months once that's processed, can my partner (common law spouse) apply for a work permit too while we wait for PR to be granted? Or would he have to wait until we obtain PR?

Re: Lmia and twp application
Ok so I have received my job offer and uploaded it to my PNP profile. I have 104 points and the last round of invitations was inviting EEBC-skilled workers with 92 points and above so in theory I should receive an invitation on the next round.
They have offered me a salary of $42,000 based on a 50 hour work week. This only works out to $16.15/hour, which is below the BC median wage, but is above the minimum income requirements for BC PNP. Will this be sufficient to satisfy the job requirements for PNP?

Re: Lmia and twp application
Oh bum. I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Sorry, but as per the program guide, that won't work - "Applications within Metro Vancouver are restricted to employment offers above the B.C. median wage of $22.00 per hour."

Re: Lmia and twp application
Where does it say that in the document? I was looking at this bit and thought we'd be okay...
GVRD income requirements for 2 people must be $28,390. But even if they only took the fist 4p hours of pay that still works out to $33,592

Re: Lmia and twp application
Click on the link in my post above (the most recent one, it's the program guide rather than the technical guide) and search for 'metro', it's mentioned several times in there. I'm just checking that's a current link as it's one I've bookmarked........
