Hello mates,
Greetings of the day.

I am moving to canada in this August 2017.
My study visa is already stamped.

My question is : " Can I apply under FSWP in Express Entry for PR , before moving there and the study visa already stamped on my passport ?"

In this way by the time i passout the PR could be obtained.

All of yours suggestions are welcome.

Yes you can apply, Even you can apply from here also as an Inland FSW. Apply from there and then update them your new address in Canada.

Thanks a lot for this information.

The NOC code under which I can apply now from India is different from what I am planning to study in canada and find a job afterwards. As I understand is, after working 6 months on PGWP I will have to apply either in PNP or CEC and WP. In this way the PR may take more than an year to arrive. Hence after passing out in next year, another two years will be just gone to get a PR (that too a conditional one in case of PNP).

Seeking your opinion in this regard .

I have a total 6 years of work experience In India and Middle east.
But my previous experience was for construction background and now I am going to study PGDM on Project Management.
If I put NOC code for Civil Engineer and get a PR under FSWP by the time I complete my study in next One year, May I do/ get other jobs than of the NOC code for which I got the PR ?

There is no restriction that you must work in your primary NOC code once you receive PR.

You can work in whichever field you'd like. You could be Batman for all IRCC cares.

Hah hah :D.

Guys I m really in a dilemma!

Will it be better if I start the process from India and by this may get a PR by next year before completing the course.

It may save two years of time.
But yes then I would loose the score for having a canadian education in the CRS.

If your score is good enough right now then apply for PR.

Also, the process takes about 6 months for 80% of the applications via Express Entry.
