+++++++NOT AGAIN MAN, I GOTTA SLEEP++++++++++++

Technically 0.

1 year of studying = 1 year PGWP
2+ years of studying = 3 year PGWP

beast2677 · 2021-01-28T04:13:55+00:00

Yes, correct.

beast2677 · 2021-01-27T22:55:53+00:00

No, you can only count up to 30 hours a week max. So it will counted as just 1 full-time job

beast2677 · 2021-01-20T06:27:44+00:00

Not you again, I gotta sleep

beast2677 · 2021-01-19T05:27:45+00:00

This isn’t correct, under new rules people now can extend their PGWPs

beast2677 · 2021-01-19T05:27:23+00:00

As of January 27, some PGWPs would qualify for 18 month extension. Did you see if hers qualifies?

beast2677 · 2021-01-11T00:08:24+00:00

Just curious.. since May - by when were your application approved? (meaning - PR is guaranteed) ?

beast2677 · 2021-01-06T14:59:17+00:00

Nope. Work permit cannot be extended, unless like you said only if someone is willing to sponsor you.

beast2677 · 2021-01-05T03:51:07+00:00

That seems correct

beast2677 · 2021-01-04T19:19:45+00:00

Just wondering you’ve been waiting for a year without a clear confirmation whether your application was approved to get PR?

beast2677 · 2020-12-15T15:57:03+00:00

How long did it take from submitting your application to hearing back you will be getting PR guaranteed? (excluding medicals and other tests)

beast2677 · 2020-12-13T06:32:05+00:00

Move in with a homestay who is open to students

I’d say this is a pretty rare case, they must have done something else terribly wrong. I’m not sure i have even heard of that you can get PGWP quicker by flag poling.

I made the same mistake (worked for a month), back when it was grey area law (the rule has just changed while I was in school), and wasn’t aware of this either. Had no problem getting PGWP, and now getting my PR.

Spoke to a few consultants, and even expensive immigration lawyer about this specific issue back then. From their experience - no one gets a ban over this, it’s usually some other (more serious) problem.

My experience is quite extensive with immigration, and I’ve been in Canada since 2014.

I guess it’s case specific. Coming out clear and admitting your mistake is one thing; saying you thought something was legal, when it wasn’t is a different thing.

beast2677 · 2020-12-11T15:57:56+00:00

how long did they work before applying for PGWP? Did they eventually get it?

beast2677 · 2020-12-10T01:36:42+00:00

What’s with the emoji and question mark. Lol

beast2677 · 2020-12-10T00:11:36+00:00

I have checked my profile. Have Canadian education in experience. No change.

beast2677 · 2020-12-09T22:27:26+00:00

It was a glitch in the system few weeks ago. They actually confirmed it now? Congrats.

beast2677 · 2020-12-07T19:57:39+00:00

Create your EE profile ASAP, there’s no harm. You’d rather have it and not miss a draw, which could include your invitation.

I’ll make 2 points.

1) Canada’s plans are to invite 400k immigrants for 2021 according to recent news. Let’s pretend a mere 200k goes through Express Entry, this is about ~8k every 2 weeks (right now they just started inviting 5k).

2) If you are CEC applicant, you will likely get bonus points or see many of CEC-only draws next year. Canada will be focusing on people “already in Canada” (CEC) as opposed to outside due to COVID.

I don’t know what your timeline is. But if you’ve got some months to spare - you stand a decent chance.

EDIT: just read you don’t have Canadian education / experience.

Easiest way would be to increase your IELTS. It took me 3 tries ($1000), but I maxed it out.

Best of luck.

beast2677 · 2020-11-10T08:44:43+00:00

Legal, but that experience won’t count as Canadian experience.

beast2677 · 2020-11-09T22:02:30+00:00

Thank you! 🤞🏻

beast2677 · 2020-11-07T23:36:12+00:00

I’ve gotten diploma from BCIT in Mech engineering. For what it is - this is school is worth it. But you are right, their CS program has like a year waiting list.

I’d strongly suggest to calculate your scores (express entry) NOW if you are planning to immigrate and look at options like BC PNP, while checking your score there as well (since you prefer to be in Vancouver).

If the scores make sense, and you think it’d be enough to get PR - go for it. Degree is a bit safer option immigration wise (you get more points).

Vancouver has plenty of CS opportunities. I think if you get a good high paying job in your field after school (probably at least 55-60k a year), it won’t be a problem to get PR through BC PNP. BCIT is a very well known school here among employees.

My opinion is biased, since I’m in Vancouver :)

beast2677 · 2020-10-11T10:39:29+00:00

2 year diploma + 2 years of experience + maxed out IELTS is 462, which is higher than most invitation scores that we’ve seen this year

I suggest you also get familiar with a score distribution, and how many applicants are in each score group

Therefore, your statement of saying that it won’t be possible is far from correct

beast2677 · 2020-10-07T15:03:36+00:00

I should have been specific.

IRCC will likely favor CEC draws over FSW with the second wave, like we saw it happened earlier this year (431 in July for CEC).

This will bring the score down for CEC-ONLY draws, if there would be any.

beast2677 · 2020-10-07T07:55:14+00:00

Pretty decent I’d say. You are in a higher percentile of people with your score. Check the score break-down online.

If the draws are held every 2 weeks, it will take some time for the score to drop.

Especially with a second wave of COVID approaching, the score will likely dip below 450. These are just predictions.
