Expiring PGWP

[Danielle B]

Hi,

I've been living in Canada for 6 years (2 years international study and 4 years Skilled CEC - extended pgwp as a result of a public policy).

My CRS is 465 and I'm 34 years old.
CELPIP Score - L11,R8,S11,W10
WES Verified Degree.

I'm based in Ontario and working in STEM and I'm afraid I'll run out of time and be sent home.


Thoughts?

My lawyer said I don't qualify under any of the OINP stream

I'm thinking I should move.

Should've moved out of Ontario years ago, now your options are limited. Better learn french fast

What PNP program requires only a job letter and does not require a designated employer.

I understood that the Critical Pilot program was more specific to "designated employer" but others mention qualified employers - those that have been in operation for at least one year. I could be wrong, and please correct me if I'm mistaken.

At least submit an EOI.

Do you mean the NB critical worker pilot program? That one is for job offers with a list of specific / designated employers. So you would need to get a job with one of those specific employers.

I do not see a designated list for their Skilled Worker stream though.


and PEI for example is as follows:

Am I eligible?
To be eligible to apply for the PEI Skilled Worker stream you must:

• have a full-time, non-seasonal (permanent or minimum of two years) job offer from a PEI employer in a high skilled occupation defined by the Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibility classification system as TEER category 0, 1, 2, or 3(link is external);
• have at least two years of full‐time work experience in the past five years;
• have a valid work permit to be working in Canada;
• have legal status in the country of residence;
• have completed a post‐secondary degree or diploma (minimum two-year program);

So you are looking at PEI and not NB. I'll admit I'm not familiar with the PEI program and don't know those details.

For that program, as of now you also have to demonstrate a minimum of six months of residency in the province at the time you apply. They are keeping that rule in place through to the end of 2023 at least. Not sure about next year. So you would need to make the move pretty soon to have time to meet that six month requirement (assuming they carry it over into next year) and apply and be accepted before your PGWP runs out. So it's an option, you would just need to make that move soon.
