Look for posts by Breech, I think he went to Cranbrook or Castlegar.

He started out in Creston. He's down on the Lower Mainland now... where jobs are scarce as hen's teeth.

[color=#0066ff]1. what is the pnp program, vs. the usual permanent residency process (point system)[color=#0066ff]

[color=#0066ff]-what do they call this process?

most provinces in canada have an agreement with the government of canada that allows them to nominate immigrants who wish to settle in that province. this is what is usually referred to as]the provincial nominee program. if you choose to immigrate to canada as a provincial nominee,you must first apply to the province where you wish to settle and complete its provincial nomination process. the province will consider your application based on its immigration needs and your genuine intention to settle there

permanent residence under the provincial nominee program is considered priority processing so it takes a lot faster to obtain permanent residency. there is also no proof of funds, or points requirement if you apply under this category

I didn't include my US validation as I hadn't worked in the US and the college asked for it verifying so had to arrange with AZ to do it so I would say yes submit it with your application

(I had 2 US state licenses but only submitted the latest one which was AZ)

yelncruise · Dec 14, 2009

would it take long for them to verify my license with them because its expired already?so i'll just forward that verification form (probably i'll choose PA) and they will just forward that to crnns?thank you so much!your really a great help!

My AZ license had expired and I had no problems with verification. I would go with your last US license as I told them I had both NY and AZ but AZ was the latest and that was the one they wanted

I did exactly the same - went with the only current US license I had, which was NM. THere were some verification issues as NM won't provide paper verification anymore - it's all on-line but in the end CARNA accepted it.
