Hi Rachel! If I'm going to study a Master that lasts 16 months, will I be able to get my PGWP for 2 years or will be only for 1?

It should be considered a 2 year study program. Make sure to check with your program's information to confirm. If 2 years, then it makes you eligible for a 3 year PGWP.

Thank you for your videos, extremely helpful! ☺️ I tried the CRS tool and found that with 1 year work experience and 1 year program, my score added up to 509 points (I have already 4 years skilled foreign work exp, and aiming for IELTS score of 7.5-8), would you think taking a 2-year program the best way to go? Thank you for your advice and God bless!!! 🇨🇦

[@rrdancel]

I get very nervous when someone gives me a high CRS score. I have many people miscalculate their CRS score and it turned out they actually have a lower score. Please do not base your whole future goals on a miscalculated score. If you have 509, I recommend that you get it confirmed before deciding on taking a 1 year or a 2 year course.

Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to me!

[@vensakarakorwien5768]

because you were on visitor status. If you still had your PGWP valid at the day you got your AOR after submitting your PR application and you managed to apply for BOWP using that AOR, you would have been under implied status until you would get approved for BOWP. Once you have changed your status this was no longer possible. And of course in order to be approved for PR you must keep a legal status in Canada. However you could have just left for a year and return once all is approved. PNP itself would not help (except of Quebec). You would still need to have that AOR after you have submitted your application to the federal process. The difference is that few provinces still have PNP that are not integrated into Express entry, so getting such PNP, would mean that you could have sent your application without ITA. The problem again in your case was time. PNP is additional step, so they can take several months to get it (which you did not have). Simply said whenever you ask your employer for anything more than just simple recommendation letter or proof of past work experience, expect to hear no. LMIA is most of the time rejected by employers and is only considered for higher end positions (or illegally paid or a family business). Permanent contract commitment is something they do not want to give unless you already are PR. So in your case kind of you opted for top 3 wanted province (BC, Ontario and Quebec), so PNP programs are much stricter there, as they do have way too many applicants. And also consider yourself lucky, as you were saved by Covid, otherwise your 450 points might not have been enough (only during Covid CEC applicants got higher preferential treatment, while before CEC draws only were extremely rare)

[@rrdancel]

Yes I’m very fortunate and grateful for my timing and luck. Appreciate your two cents on this.

[@Kakiharaichii]

It is almost impossible to get BOWP with 1 year canadian work experience (under NOC 0,A,B) because of the time limitations and especially these days with the lengthy processing times. 1 year is very hard even if you find a decent full-time job immediately after graduation as the job security these days are also in jeopardy (depends on the industry). 2+ years or 1+1 is the way to go as you would have time to make the money back (think as if it is an investment). Pandemic literally saved so many lower scoring candidates.

[@vensakarakorwien5768]

@@Kakiharaichii yes that is correct. Unless you go to study to Manitoba. Their PNP program accepts from 6 months of work experience in Manitoba. However Manitoba is not on the top of the most wanted provinces. Also some other provinces might have PNP for freshly graduated. However BC would be the worst choice there, as they do require a job offer, it has to be in top 100 wanted profession and they also give more points the higher your salary is.

[@Kakiharaichii]

@@vensakarakorwien5768 do you think it is a good idea to study let's say in Manitoba or go there when getting PGWP for possible PNP nomination ?

[@vensakarakorwien5768]

@@Kakiharaichii if you want to get into Canada any province is good enough, except when you have a specialization that does not match with that province (for example an ocean marine biologist should not choose a province that has no access to sea or ocean). 1. you might find out your future there 2. Just like for any other province you might move later on somewhere else in Canada. Just so you know there were people that did not manage it somewhere and then moved somewhere else. So do not look on popularity of the province / area, look on how your skills and specialization is compatible with that province and which professions are in demand there.

thanks for the video! How to apply for visitor record? I applied for TRV and in my passport, when i got my TRV approval, the stamp says 'visitor'. how is it different from visitor visa/visitor record?

What should be the best option for me right now. I am roaming around for lmia but cost is too high I cannot afford it. What should i do. Please 🙏🏻 tell me.

Given your situation, it may be in your best interest to speak with an immigration lawyer to determine the best path forward. I know there is a cost that you have to pay for this service. However, its better to have someone advice you as opposed to getting random unqualified advice from people online or your family or friends.

Hey I'm gonna be in the same scenario. Because my 1 year experience ends just one day before my pgwp expires

Same situation of my wife so pls till me how many month takes for approved bridging open work permit

[@wajidrafique9284]

My closed work permit is going to expire in March 2021, I am also looking for options to stay legal in Canada. I will apply through a Canadian experience class, but for that, I can only apply after the completion of one-year of work experience. I wanted to ask how long we can stay as a visitor in Canada?

[@rrdancel]

A maximum of 6 months at a time ☺️

Hi Rach. Just to clarify, so before applying for a BOWP, you need to already have an ITA in order to apply for PR thru express entry (CEC), which is one of the requirements of BOWP. Is my understanding correct? And waiting for an ITA sometimes takes time that your PGWP expires? Right? 🥺 So time is your enemy here.

[@starxrandom]

This is my understanding… I am nervous about this, but a one year program was my only option..

[@arathy5805]

[@juangarcia-we8lt]

I am curious, if being a permanent resident of Canada will open the path that for some uncomprehending reason makes me feel french some how.

[@rrdancel]

That was an uncomprehendible mix of question/sentence/statement/curiosity. You can easily avoid the French if you live outside the province of Quebec.
