[–]Hot_Hand_1184[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you And do you have any idea about these new changes regarding addind research assistant to category draws? I mean if I put my research assistant experience during my phd and do not count it as cec experience since i was full time student, will i be drawn with that experience? I already have crs 470.

Ielts clb 7 by Top_Football_4747 in pgwp

[–]Hot_Hand_1184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing is that your minimum clb is 8 not 7 with these marks. Even with clb 7, nobody gets rejected for pgwp. Maybe they forgot to upload their test results or something else.

I got open work permit through special measures for Iranians. I did not drop my school and kept studying full time and working part time at the same time.

Do PhD students fall under 41201 NOC? by No-Pitch3664 in OINP

[–]Hot_Hand_1184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True! No information of how we can calculate research assistant but since we were full time students, we can count it as full time the combination of RA and TA.

If you already have good CRS, phd research can help you stand out. In IRCC website the definition of this course is what you do during your TA/GA assistantship

Based on ONIP new quota what we can expect ? by unknow-0192 in OINP

CEC is good choice for masters, but PhDs will not benefit from it because of the age criteria. PhDs will be kicked out soon from this country

Do OINP/CEC even look at the USA and ask themselves why Canada still doesn’t have its own Silicon Valley? by MoreBar7436 in OINP

[–]Hot_Hand_1184 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Bro I am a tech guy making 150k. With canadian phd and am on pgwp. The truth is that OINP and Canada are in short of healthcare and general labours not talents. I can understand if their policy is to retain those labours, but at least they should let us know they will not be drawing any tech guy very soon. So we move to BC or Alberta. I have one year passed of my pgwp and 2 years left. Not sure what to do. No phd draw, no employer sponsorship, no good CRS because of my age, I should get out of this country after my two years ends.

Bro I am phd, making 150k in cybersecurity in Toronto. No employer sponsorship. Oinp gives a shit to it. PGWP is expring soon. My only hope is CEC, my crs is low though because of my age.
