Like I know people joke about paying for a degree and getting a PR out of it (Lamda colllege jokes), but there is no program that gives you PR just because you graduated in Canada or if you have work experience in Canada. You generally have to go through EE, and to do it quickly (accumulate work experience before your permit expires).
People joke about it because that's how it is. If someone is paying for a 1 year diploma, that is purely to get a pr afterwards. Some of these make you eligible for TR2PR and other PNP programs. You are either misinformed or willfully ignorant. Let's break this down.
1. If you do a 1 year diploma, you are doing it to try to get a PR. Lie about it all you want, everyone knows that's the reason. Even still,
you have access to TR2PR (which they have indicated will return in some capacity).
You also are eligible for PNP programs depending on the province you go to school in. Ontario has the Master's stream for example (and there are several 1 year + internship masters that are eligible). Alberta, Manitoba and Sask also have specific PNP programs for graduates from the province.
That took me less than 2 minutes to google.
2.
It is VASTLY easier for a CEC to get high scores. Their applications have been prioritized for the last two years. Yet, they complain about how the scores are now too high and they don't qualify. Okay. And? Work hard. Learn to speak goddamn english and get your three years of work exp. The last two years basically handed out free PRs and now they feel entitled to having it easy.
3. No it is not difficult to qualify for FSW with a Canadian degree. If you're doing the diploma thing, yes, you're on a time constraint becasue you only get a 1 year pgwp. But anyone doing a diploma should know that going in. They tried to game the system, couldn't make the cut with such exceptionally low bars, and have the audacity to complain. If you do a 2 year degree you get a 3 year pgwp. If someone can't accrue 1 year of work exp in 3 years of having an OPEN work permit, I really do wonder how low intelligence they are.
4. Even after getting 1 year of work exp, they immediately become eligible for more PNP streams in several provinces. So they don't even need to get high scores to go through FSW.
5. They can still do all the things FSWs do to compete
but they don't. Why is that? Get a CLB 10 in english, learn french, get three years of work exp. But no, they're upset becaause they're no longer able to qualify with their laughable scores.
That's why people joke about CECs. This isn't true for all, maybe even most CECs. But the representation of CEC you see on twitter etc is the lazy, low quality fool who has been handed things all their life and now they're upset it is no longer the case. If CECs are trying to get a PR without knowledge of what I just typed, I have no sympathy for them. It is the perfect representation of their laziness and entitlement. The jokes at their expense are 100% warranted. I will never include high score CECs in this category, but the average CEC is a pathetic low scorer who wants a free meal. And we know that from the score distributions the last couple of years. There is absolutely no competition and they still find a way to complain.
there is no program that gives you PR just because you graduated in Canada or if you have work experience in Canada.
Just to emphasize this more, there are several. You not knowing about them is a problem with you not doing your due diligence.
This last part is just a hunch, but CEC specific draws will come back. IRCC and Canada have set the precedent. They have rewarded and even encouraged laziness for two whole years. They can't just go back to the way things were pre pandemic. Being inland gives you significant advantages, and if you aren't taking advantage of them or are not aware of them, that is your fault entirely. <- I'm not talking about you in particular, just saying this about any CEC who likes to complain about how unfair things are or whatever.
