common problem
1) How long does it take from registration to nomination?
After reviewing your registration, the USCIS will assign a score to the submitted application within 4 to 6 weeks. You will have to wait up to 6 months or 180 days in the qualifying pool. If you are invited, you must submit your application within 4 months or 120 days from the date you receive the invitation. The Immigration Department will process most completed applications within 3 to 4 months.
2) What is the minimum score for eligibility?
There is no overall minimum score. However, each part of the registration has a minimum score. You must meet the minimum score in each section to continue.
3) Why is my registration only valid for 6 months or 180 days?
The pool of eligible candidates is constantly updated. When registrants are invited, new registrations are accepted by the candidate pool and previous registrations expire. This ensures that the pool of qualified candidates remains screened against high-scoring registrants.
4) Is there any age restriction?
Not currently, but as part of the registration process, you will be given points for your age.
5) Do I need to take a language test?
The latest regional pilot program has a minimum language requirement (CLB level 4).
6) If I have already applied according to the previous procedures and am waiting for the result, can I apply for BCPNP through online registration?
The BC PNP allows only one application to be submitted at a time. If you wish to submit your application for entrepreneur Immigration registration online, you must cancel your old application before registration. You are eligible for a refund only if the evaluation of your application has not begun. If the Immigration Office has already begun processing your application, it will not accept new applications.
