A student in Vancouver received an invitation under BC PNP Tech (no LMIA needed, employer supporting) and asked how the path continues from a study permit. The thread's guidance:
- Verify you meet the stream's minimum criteria before applying for nomination. The first response asked whether the poster had the work experience the stream requires in the offered occupation — an invitation is not a nomination, and each BC PNP stream has its own minimum requirements you must actually meet.
- Pick the correct stream and match its criteria. Members stressed that BC PNP has multiple streams; you apply under the one whose eligibility (experience, job offer, wage) fits your profile.
- Expect a status change from student to worker. Others in the same situation planned the same sequence: after nomination, move from a study permit to an employer-specific (closed) work permit supported by the nomination, then file the PR application.
The thread ended without a definitive walkthrough, so treat this as an outline of the sequence — invitation → confirm stream eligibility → nomination → closed work permit → PR application — and confirm details against current BC PNP instructions.
