I have a couple of cousins want to move to Canada, but not eligible under the Federal program as it now requires one to have a job offer in hand (really?) and some professions (Accounting and Finance) are not on the occupation list. So, I am thinking about advising them of the PNP route. Don't have much information on the same, and to start I have the following concerns:

1. Is it relatively easier to get?
2. Does on need to have a job offer in hand (employer) in order to get the PNP?
3. What is the processing time?
4. If one couldn't get in via. the Federal route, is PNP better?
5. Would one get a PR after the PNP approval, or the PR process itself takes time after one lands in the country?
6. Any restrictions, other than staying in the Province where one has applied?

Thanks

I think it answered my questions. One needs to have an employer to be considered for PNP:

Basic Requirements:
The basic or pre-requirements cover all categories above and must be met prior to applying:

•the nominee applicant intends to settle in BC
•the nominee applicant has the ability to become economically established in BC
•if the nominee applicant is currently in Canada, they must maintain legal immigration status throughout the process and must not be subject to a removal order.
•the nominee applicant does not have an active refugee claim
•if the nominee applicant is currently outside Canada, they must not be prohibited from entering Canada and must have legal status in the country in which they are currently residing

The following requirements cover all categories except for the International Post-Graduates Pilot Project and must be met prior to applying:

•the employer has offered, and the nominee applicant has accepted permanent and full-time employment in an eligible occupation
•the nominee applicant is qualified to do the job
•the wage offered is competitive with BC wage rates for the occupation
•the nominee applicant’s occupation offers good long-term prospects
•the employer is financially sound, with a history of good workplace and business practices, has been operating in BC for at least one year (two years for an Entry Level and Semi-Skilled employer) and currently has at least five permanent full-time employees, or full-time equivalents (three if located outside of Metro Vancouver)
•the nominee applicant may not own 10% or more of the supporting employer company
•the employment of a foreign worker will be of significant economic benefit to BC
•the employment of a foreign worker will not adversely affect the settlement of a labour dispute, or the employment of anyone involved in any such dispute
•the employer has actively recruited locally to fill the position
