PNP V IMMIGRATION
Why do people go down the immigration route when it seems on here so easy to get a pnp, why wait years when you only after wait weeks, and your whole family can come to? Am i missing something ??

Re: PNP V IMMIGRATION
By and large you would need a job offer in one of the provinces offering PNP in order to qualify. Some provinces give weight to relatives settled there too.

Also note that PNP is just a step in immigration process. If you want to move permanently to Canada and become PR then you still need to go through PR (immigration) visa process, although with PNP it will be faster.

But there have been relatively few new forum members who have gone the standard SW-PR route. As far as I've been able to tell, people are doing that only as an absolute last resort, when they've explored and exhausted all other possibilities. Most people try to come over on PNP or else they come over on a temporary work permit (WP) and then secure a job offer that gains them an Arranged Employment Opinion (AEO), and that in turn speeds up their application for PR. when it seems on here so easy to get a pnp why wait years when you only after wait weeks |

regards Lynsey:confused: A: There is no large scale PNP for Ontario yet, and Ontario is still the #1 destination for immigrants B: There are finite numbers of PNP places C: Some people never do find a job before they arrive in Canada D: PNPs do not cover all occupations |

This is the most important fact about PNP's. Most PNP's have annual quota of only couple hundred certificates and they are usually gone early... The total number of available per year PNP's (in all participating Provinces, except Quebec) is only about 4,000. So, it is less drop in the bucket...
As far as I'm aware NS is the only province to have securred this arrangement. |
Re: PNP V IMMIGRATION
well I'm doing both...........
I applied for PR about 15 months ago and just scraped through on points which makes me feel uneasy about the out come as i have read that points can go up or down. So i have gone down finding the job route LMO/WP but I'm not sure what my best option after that, PNP or updating my PR application but you could say i have options as my trade is in the NOC'S |

Except for Nova Scotia. based on a new agreement with CIC (see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/departm...2007-09-19.asp) the Nova Scotia PNP now has no cap on the number of applicants they can nominate each year.

Re: PNP V IMMIGRATION
I hadn't seen the article but I always thought that program was a disgrace. They were basically charging people $128k each in total to become provincial nominees. It was described as an "investment in the Nova Scotia economy". The Immigration office was wise to abandon the program when they did as it was bound to blow up eventually. I'm not at all suprised people are asking for their money back.
