[quote=beau23;3399839]Hi there.I'm a nurse from UK and I'm planning to move in British columbia by the end of this year.I'm already been assesed by CRNBC and eligible to take the examination. Now my querry is? Is it true that you can apply for work permit and PNP (provincial nominee program) at the same time.Could anyone explain this to me further, pls?[/quote

Yes, you can apply both at the same time but you need an employer because PNP is employer driven. Your employer will request a support letter from PNP office in substitue for an LMO in applying your work permit.
