hello! I did a Master of Business Administration from a reputable public university in British Columbia. However, due to the strict PNP rules in BC and my professional background, I am not eligible for any of their provincial nominee programs and I do not have enough points for express entry. I am open to moving to a new province and starting a life there. However, I only have a year and a half on my Post Graduate Work Permit. Therefore, I want to move to a province where I will be eligible to apply for a PNP PR after living/working there for a year or less. I don't want to consider Manitoba as the province subtract your points if you've studied/worked in another province. Any advice on the province which has the more friendly PNP pathways and a relatively less difficult route to PR. Thank you very much.
What do you mean by friendly. PNPs are cut in half so provinces are going to focus on those with specific skills like healthcare, trades, construction, tourism. Some will focus on those who studied or have a LMIA in that province. Rsearch each province and see which one you would be eligible for. You most likely need a job offer with an employer designated or eligible. Most employers will not fill out the forms or support nomination. Most draws are focused on specific NOCs too. So research provincial draws, scores too.

There are no easy PNP pathways anymore. You don’t even specify your NOC and whether you have current employment or prospects. Best option is likely to start learning French and max out any other points. What is your current CRS score? Age? IELTS?

thanks for responding! My CRS score would be 496 once i complete a year of experience in August; my NOC code is 11202 and i've been in this job for six month. I do not know French and mastering it in a year seems like bit of a stretch. Therefore, I am trying to look for a province that could give me extra points and moving there once I find a job - I am also open to changing my occupation too if that might help me. My PGWP expires in December 2026.
I noticed Alberta and Newfoundland have Express Entry Skilled Worker PNP pathways. But it looks like Alberta is only giving priority those with a family in AB. I wonder if employers are reluctant to sign the letter for EE PNP pathway, I'm assuming it would not ask for anything more than an experience letter in IRCC's format.
It feels a bit disheartening to come this close and not have enough points or options, mainly i'm seeking clarity and guidance.

People here have learned French from scratch in eight months. If PR is a priority for you then you should very seriously consider this.
I don't think Alberta is a realistic option for you.
You'll have to research the specific PNP pathways you are considering when it comes to what the employer needs to do. In many cases more is required than just an experience letter

Not sure PNP will even be an option given the lower quotas and your NOC code.

thanks for your counsel, appreciate it! Sounds like all the signs are pointing towards learning French. Maybe French draws could be an option as they do not require B2 level proficiency.

French draws require CLB 7 equivalency in all sections, which is advanced intermediate or B2. So you want to be as fluent French as you are in English.

Review the requirements again. You need to achieve CLB7 in all four categories to qualify for the French draws.
