Hello everyone,

hi,

yes, i already received my nomination last October 27, 2008. My employer told me that the usual time frame for BC PNP is 2-4 months. But in my case, its just less than 2 weeks! I can't believe it:yeah:...

Im about to send off my work permit application and at the same time the permanent residence application as per the instructions given by my employer...

i am really happy for you breech. mine seems to be taken longer. my application was around the same time as yours. my employer is also interior health. they have said it will take between 3-4 weeks max. i am within this time so i guess i would just have to wait.
