Hi everyone!
Some context around my situation. I graduated earlier this year, in June, with a 4-year Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. Also got a 3 year PGWP soon after valid until August 2026.
After a few months of job hunting, managed to secure a full time position as a Software Developer, so a TEER 1 position, in the middle of September. I currently live in Ottawa, and work in a fully remote company in a fully remote position. As in, no one in the company works in office, and the company address is basically a PO Box.
I wanted to know, what was the fastest way to secure a PR in my situation. After some research, I found that OINP Employer Job Offer: International Student stream could potentially be a good option, but not sure how the remote job situation would work. Although both me and technically the company, are based in Ontario, I can't find any information regarding it online.
The other option I saw was applying via the regular CEC route after I complete my 1 year of work experience in Sept 2024. This would get me to, I believe, 474 points, which won't be enough I suppose.
The final option would be to go via OINP Human Capital Priorities stream, which needs me to fulfill the requirements of CEC, which will be possible by Sept 2024.
In your estimation, what is the best choice here? And are there any other options I'm missing? Is there some sort of risk with OINP that I'm missing? As those 600 points seem pretty helpful.
Also would love any clarification regarding the remote work situation for OINP Employer Job Offer: International Student stream!
Would appreciate any help! Thank you
