Seeking advice

[vivickytian]

I am 25 and currently have a hospitality and tourism management bachelor’s degree from a United States college. I plan to enroll in a 1 or 2 year post graduate hospitality management program in a public college in Canada. After that I may be eligible to apply for PSWP( Post graduation work permit). After one year, I will apply for Canada Experience Class Express Entry. Would anyone please give me some advice or suggestions regards to my situation. If there is anything I may need to be aware of.


Thanks!

If your college course is 1 year you will get 1 year PGWP. If your course is 2 years then you will get 3 years PGWP. In order to be eligible for Canadian Experience Class, you have to gain 1 year full-time Canadian experience on PGWP under JOB NOC Category 0, A or B.
It is unlikely impossible to get 1 year experience If you have 1 year PGWP. Hope this helps!

Totally agree with the above. Definitely take a 2 year program so that you get a 3 year PGWP.

I know I can work while I am at school. so if I work during school time and get 1 year PGWP, when I apply for express entry, could all these hours together count as 1 year full time? or I have to make up all these hours in exactly 1 year?

Your work experience while being as student won't be counted.
