You should hear back from the BC Government in about 2 months. Once you have the confirmation from the BC Government you can apply to CIC for permanent residence. I believe they are taking about a year. However, once you have the BC Government letter you can use this to get a temporary work permit at your point of entry to Canada.

Currently in the process in Saskatchewan.

SK PNP nomination took less than a month.

Sent PR application in to Buffalo (Sept 2010), 6 months later got acknowledgement of receipt and Med request (March 2011). Three months on, notified that my file is transferred to Detroit and I now cannot access online stats for at least 90 days.

Hi, BC pnp advised us 16-18w as well, I think they keep the processing times relatively up to date, remember that the visa cycle opens on July 1. So they have a finite number they will agree to and once that is reached the applications get put on hold. So if everyone is rushing to get in now it's a new visa year, wait times might be longer. Good luck, and I hope we wont be far behind you!

It's getting longer! When I applied for a potential employee three years ago it took the BC PNP people two months. It seems as though they are catching CIC disease.
