HOW I GOT INVITED FOR PR IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS? with ENGLISH SUBTITLES

#ImmigrationCanada #ExpressEntry #PermanentResidency
Thanks to COVID??? Hi guys, in this video I’ll be sharing what I did exactly to get an Invitation to apply for Permanent Residency in Canada! Yes, it’s very much possible and I started my journey by coming to Canada as an International Student. I studied in Vancouver for 1 year and bridged my way into applying for PR in less than 3 years. WOOOW?! Even I can't believe it. Of course, madaming factors involved in getting that ITA for PR. It was a long and windy process but I’m very grateful that I’m finally here. Hopefully makatulong itong step by step information to some people who are aspiring to settle in Canada in the future.
Also if you have any other topics that you would like me to cover in my channel about life here in Canada, please comment it below or give me a shout out on social media. Maraming salamat guys and enjoy!

Hi guys! This video is expanding to a wider audience and with that I’ve decided to include English Subtitles for parts where I spoke in Tagalog. So make sure to turn on closed caption or “cc” on the upper right corner of the screen. But more importantly , choose the English (Canada) cc, NOT the auto-generated one. 💕☺️ Hope this helps my international viewers, cheers! 🥳😊

@@rrdancel Good evening po jan sa Canada! I'm so happy to see you respond to my comment. By the way Rach (hahaha feeling close lang sorry po) , I have a question, if you don't mind answering. The institution that I'm planning to apply specifically the program actually accepts Duolingo English test, should I just go for this or will it pose a problem on my studies later on or any process issue with the immigration? I still haven't taken any English certificate exams such as TOEFL or IELTS. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you Rach!

[@rrdancel]

Hi dear, if you’re applying for the regular study permit stream then IELTS is not required for your application. However if you decide to apply via Student Direct Stream, IELTS is required. The difference between the two is the processing times, SDS is faster to process because of their specific requirements. 😊👍 But in short, IELTS is not required for the regular study permit application - what’s important is to secure the official letter of acceptance from that designated learning institution. Also ensure that school offers PGWP, so you can work after graduation 😊❤️

hi miss rachel! a new subscriber here and new also in learning things about canada immigration. so i am trying to catch up with all your videos. enjoying it so far. great job! out of curiosity, hope this question makes sense, isn’t it possible in your case before the expiration of your pgwp to secure an employer that is LMIA positive so you can have a temporary working visa instead of changing your status to visitor? or it appears easy to me when in fact it’s actually rare to find an employer that is willing to process an LMIA approval? thank you!

i got the answer already from another video. will keep watching. :)

Hi! I love your channel it’s very informative ♥️ hope you’ll get your PR soon! By the way, I’m planning on taking up a 1-year program in Mississauga, Ontario on September 2021 intake that’s why I’m searching for videos like this. I’m glad I found your channel! 🥰 Question lang though, aren’t you allowed to apply for an extension of your work permit (instead of getting a visitor visa? or is it a different thing?) like one or two months before your PGWP expires just to have enough time to wait for an invitation? Huhu, I hope you could answer this question. Thank you and stay safe always!

[@rrdancel]

Hi Jan, thank you for stumbling upon my channel. I’m glad that it’s been helping you with your immigration questions and concerns! ❤️🥰 Congrats as well for starting your journey to Canada 🥳 So it’s not possible for me to extend my PGWP, since being issued one is like “one and done” type of permit. So you only get it once in your lifetime. There are only 2 possible ways to extend it: 1. Is by getting a Closed Work Permit such as LMIA (employer-sponsored permits) which is difficult to get because not all employers are onboard with sponsoring a foreign worker when they have citizens and PRs available to hire at no cost. 2. There’s also the Bridging Open Work Permit, but you can only apply for that if a) you have already submitted a PR Application AND b) right before your PGWP Expires. I received an invitation to apply for PR AFTER my PGWP expired, so I was too late to qualify under BOWP. Hope this answers your question ❤️ Take care and keep safe as well ☺️

[@jangabriel6481]

rrdancel Oh okay! So considering what you’ve gone through, do you think it’s better to take the Provincial Nominee Program pathway to PR? Because based on my understanding of what I’ve read on CIC website (if my understanding is right haha), I think PNP: International Student Stream is an easier pathway to PR than EE. Kindly correct me if I’m wrong hehe 😅 By the way, I followed you on IG and oh gosh your photos are the bomb!! They’re all so nice 💖

[@rrdancel]

Hi Jan, so it's better to qualify under more than one program when applying to extend your stay in Canada as a permanent resident. So for Federal, it's CEC, FSW and FST. For Provincial, there's BCPNP, AIPP, OINP and the like. Although my knowledge is limited on PNP, I do know that they have their own points system that you must meet before getting a nomination from the province. For example, BC PNP's score system is called SIRS. I actually tried applying under that pathway but also found it difficult to get an nomination from them because of their scoring system. So I wouldn't say it's easier but qualifying under it can increase your chance of applying here for PR. Plus some PNP programs are linked to your EE Profile, and its primary purpose is to jump your CRS score to get an automatic invitation to apply. Sorry this message is longer than I expected but I do hope that clarifies your questions. I would still need to do my research on that as well :P ps: Thank you for checking my IG hihihi, I'm so flattered!!!

[@jangabriel6481]

rrdancel Oh okay, I get it now. Maybe I have to think about it thoroughly when I’m already there in Canada cause there might be any changes or like a new pathway 😅 Main goal for now is to be there first haha! Thank you so much for answering all my questions though, big help! Hope you could update us once you get your PR 🥰 love your vids! Stay safe always!

Hello Ms. Rachel, thank you for sharing again this video. I’m learning a lot in the process and similarity of my application to yours. Just a couple of queries though, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (ECE) to be specific and I’m just wondering if you also applied for Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)? If yes, what particular approved body/agency? And how much is the cost? As well time of assessment period?

[@rrdancel]

Hi Mark, thank you so much for watching my videos it means a lot to me ❤️😊 I applied for my ECA close right before submitting an Express Entry Profile. I went to ICES to get one because it’s located in my school here in Canada which is BCIT. The ECA cost me $200 to get my bachelor’s assessed and it approximately took 14 weeks to get it processed, with a validity of 5 years ❤️😊

[@marktolentino6840]

Hi Ms. Rachel, GoodDay. Indeed, in fact I’m still watching the other previous videos uploaded to gain further info. :) Really appreciate the clear-cut and straightforward fine points. Thanks. Yeah, I think I'll consider also ICES, hence my first choice is WES.

[@chescasantiago5537]

This is very informative!! 💖 I just have a question, need ba na yung full time job mo (during pgwp) should be related to the diploma/certificate you got in Canada para macredit sya to your CRS score? Or any job would do as long as its full time?

[@rrdancel]

Hi Chesca, thanks for dropping your question. So fortunately, your work does not have to be related to your program to qualify for Canadian Experience Class/ Express Entry. As long as you meet the minimum requirements, you will have a score for your work experience in Canada. But I know that for some PNP applicants, your work may need to be related to your education. So if you do want to qualify for PNP to widen your options for PR, check the province's requirements for that :D I hope this helps.

Hello Ate Rachel, from PH po. I have a question about the Study Permit. How long can you have a study permit?? I'm watching most of your recent & old videos, trying to get a clue in living in Canada because of the opportunities. Though I'm still not sure if I can go, I still wanna learn about the must-do & processes. I'm entering college in just 2 years. I was planning on studying in Manila, but my Mom suddenly mentioned studying in Canada. I have some relatives & family friends there but I really don't know how to ask them. Most of them got in Canada through a different way, so I don't really know how to survive as a student if I were to go in Canada.

My Work Experience in Canada is not correlated to my application for a visitor extension. I hope that answers your question.

about the the pgwp application and looking for work window, i know that there is a 180-day window to apply for pgwp after you finish your study and get your marks and everything but what about the Study Permit expiring, how could someone look for a job before applying for the pgwp and his SP is expired ? or is there a grace period after you finish you studies like a small time window to try and find a job then apply for the pgwp ? , this way you can't lose valuable time on your pgwp duration ,i hope you answer my question because i think strategically this is not a good path to take, i think the good strategic path it like you said in the video to forward think and start searching for a skilled job while you still studying and your sp is still valid, right ?. thank you.

[@raizagesmundo9923]

hello💖 watching all ur vlogs hehe. questiin lang, how would they know ur score? is it like u will submit it to get an invites? thanks

[@rrdancel]

Hi dear, sorry for the late reply! 🤗 once you submit an EE Profile your score will be there and when you exceed the cutoff, the system will automatically send you an invitation to apply for PR! So glad technology has gotten better, so there’s less work on our part 😜❤️ hope that answers your question 🥰

[@chechayBaron]

hi rachel, do applicants have ways of computing the score for the ITA? thanks and stay safe God bless. I really learn alot from your videos.

[@rrdancel]

Hi dear, IRCC actually offers a free tool for your to compute your CRS score and it’s found here: www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

[@eljonashuti2698]

Hi, I really like your videos! I have a question: how can I check my express entry points?

[@therealsleepyaxolotl3345]

Hi Congrats po. Can I ask you a question regarding the additional points for Job Offer supported by positive LMIA (50 points on CRS). Since you did the EE application thru CEC, have you selected as YES on Job Offer and still submitted a positive LMIA for the additional 50 points?. Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@rrdancel]

I did work a job during PGWP but it is NOT considered a job offer. So I answered NO for that part 😊 you only get the additional 50 points if you are offered a job that’s positive LMIA. Hope this answers your question.

[@rogeldeguzman20]

Hi Rachel.. Just curious, in your case that you had 450 points and suddenly the CRS scores dropped, I believe that there are plenty of applicants waiting with similar scores like you so it means all of them received an invitation or it is still like a draw?

[@rrdancel]

So as long as you exceed the cut-off score of the recent draw, you will automatically get an invitation to apply. But if you’re score is equal to the cut-off, the next thing you have to check is the cut-of date and time. If you submitted your profile on or before that date, you will get an invitation to apply. Hope this answers your question.

[@prernarawat8443]

So i am literally in same situation as yours. I did one year course, one year PGWP. I focused on getting a 'B' level job, which I got but pandemic hit. Now they allow PGWP to be extended, I have applied for it. Hopefully I will finish my one year experience in a B Level job soonish this year. I gambled since beginning by taking only one year course. My points are 448. Do you think I should learn French to get 50 extra points ? I have 1 year to learn French and all. I feel my file is weak because 448 is too less. I might be wrong!

Hi Ms. Rachel, when for example at the time of my PR application my IELTS was expired, can I take IELTS exam in Canada and submit it for the pr application?

If you submitted a PR application BEFORE your IELTS exam expired, you don’t need retake it. Just wait for the final results on your PR Application to see if it’s approved! 😊 However, if you’re implying you’ve submitted an Express Entry profile and have NOT gotten an invitation to apply for PR AND then your IELTS expired, you may need to retake it - bc submitting an EE profile doesn’t mean you applied for PR :) Hope that clears it up! 🤗

how do you submit your CRS score or how to create a profile so that that the immigration can give an ITA? Is there a pathway or something or while studying I can already make my profile?

You get a CRS score after you create and submit your express entry profile to IRCC Portal. That entails having worked at least one year in a skilled level job and meeting the English Requirements. 😊

[@rrdancel]

^ You can only submit a profile after her meeting all of those requirements mentioned above 😊💯
