just wondering for BC EE or BC PNP, I did not see where you could upload your employer's job offer letter on both of the applications. So I do not need to provide any documents until I am invited? Thanks.

Please help!!

I have been working for this company for more than 2 years. My first job after graduating. My boss is ready to file PNP for me but he won't agree to post my job again. Does my employer has to go through all the hassle of posting job again even if I have been working for the company for more than 2 years. I am on Post Graduate Work Permit.

Also which form does my employer has to fill out? He wants to look at the form before hand.

Thanks a lot

Hi, the reality is if you want to claim 600 extra points to help your EE profile and you have to get LIMA which I think your boss may not post new job on the market if he had posted it on the public job market before. This is what I heard. However,
I also heard LIMA is very difficult to pass. I think LIMA is totally foolish,because how can a person already working to get LIMA? I am on PGWP as well.

Just be careful about this as they sent me very wrong NOC ID, it was not even remotely relevant. It is your own responsibility to determine the NOC code after all.

Agree, they don't understand much of the technicalities and send wrong NOC many times and put a disclaimer it's your responsibililty.

I had trim down my list of duties and asked and they told me developer and programmer which is nowhere related to me.

Can I use Indian passport as proof of date of birth for my spouse? His dob certificate from the concerned authority is lost. If not, what else is accepted as proof of date of birth by cic?

Birth certificates are not required for you and spouse. It is required only for dependent children, if any.

That is surprising as I have always heard that original birth certificate is required to be produced after receiving ITA. I myself am struggling to get my birth certificate from the authorities. If you are sure about that then it is a big relief.

Purpose

Document requirements
- This document is required only if the applicant identifies dependent children.
- The document must be one of the following:
- birth certificate;
- equivalent document from the birth country; or
- letter of explanation (where no birth certificate is available in the country).

Individuals who must submit this documentation
All the dependent children, including non-accompanying

Indeed it seems so from the information given on the above link. Thanks for sharing. Do you also know if birth certificate isn't required for the primary applicant when going through the provincial nomination route?

It depends on the provincial guidelines, you will have to refer to the Application Guide or guidelines of the specific province.

To add to what Stanlee said, even when a birth certificate *is* required, exceptions and exemptions can be made. I applied to OINP, which requires a birth certificate, but I didn't have one, and applied without it, including an explanation for why I was doing so, and requesting them to use my passport as my proof of birth instead. I never had any problem with the process.
TL;DR- if you find that a birth certificate is required, but you have legitimate reasons for not finding one, don't freak out. Offer alternate proofs of birth, and a thorough letter of explanation.
Good luck.
