The fix:<\/strong> report the change to the BC PNP right away, answer any letter about cancelling your nomination with evidence, and line up a new BC PNP-eligible job if you lost yours.<\/p>\n

The deadline:<\/strong> the date in the BC PNP’s letter. Your nomination is valid for a limited time (180 days under the BC PNP’s guide), and you must apply to IRCC before it expires.<\/p>\n

Why a lawyer:<\/strong> once the nomination is gone, IRCC cannot approve a provincial nominee application. The response to the BC PNP is usually the moment that decides it. Why a lawyer<\/a><\/p>\n

The BC PNP’s post-nomination guide says it may cancel a nomination if you fail to meet its conditions, fail to report a material change such as losing your job, or cannot be reached.
