Re: Working and part time studying
Yes it does, under the Entry Level & Semi-skilled Stream. The list of eligible occupations for that stream are on the website in the program guide, I'm vaguely hopeful your husband's may come under that list, but could be wrong. If so, then if his husband's employer is happy to support a PNP app, then that's a great option. Although do bear in mind that you wouldn't get an open work permit so you wouldn't be able to work until you got PR (or a work permit/LMIA/PNP in your own right). And that PR will take a lot longer as he wouldn't qualify for the EE route.
But at least it would get you over there. Do check the list, I may be remembering wrongly, so don't want to get your hopes up just in case!
Edit: just Googled, yes his job does qualify, hurrah!! Page 27 onwards - https://www.welcomebc.ca/getmedia/14...ram-Guide.aspx

Re: Working and part time studying
If your spouse or common law partner has a PNP nomination and consequent work permit then you are eligible to apply for a work permit regardless of the skill level of your partner's job.

Mmm, interesting, didn't realise that had changed. Thanks Snowy. The program guide still says work permit for applicant only, how would the spouse apply for a work permit, online via CIC or direct to PNP?

Re: Working and part time studying
Spouses or common-law partners of work permit holders who have been nominated for permanent residence by a province are entitled to open work permits for the duration of the work permit of the provincial nominee principal applicant, irrespective of the skill level of the principal applicant’s occupation.

But at least he has a route to PR - in most other provinces, he wouldn't!

I don't think we can do the pnp because it only applies to specific regions for the C and D Nov codes. We want kelowna and it's not there 😫
