Did you look at the EE program and how many points you might get given as you may know there is a lot more to qualifying than just having work experience and only you have the input to what your score might be ?

As for staying legally after completing the PGWP other than applying for PR, extending as a visitor or being in a position for spousal sponsorship , no way to stay on.

Hi,

Yes if you find a job as soon as you graduate and if you work for a year you will be eligible for the Express Entry.
But the fact is by the time your workpermit gets expired you will have to leave the country if the company is not giving you a letter to extend the papers.

I have friends who was in the same situation they get to leave the country after the work permit end date. However they were eligible for the Express entry they went back home and got the PR and returned back again.

Thanks
