Dilemma to Apply/Wait

[enigmatic99]

Hello Guys,

I am planning to apply for PR immediately after graduation. I know I will be on safe zone if I apply after working for 1 year here in Canada but I want to get PR early (if that is possible). I am almost to the end of my academic journey here in Canada (completed 2 years masters degree in physical therapy). I worked as a college instructor after completion of my bachelors degree in public health back in India. I have work experience 20 months (42 hours a week) as a college instructor in India.

My academic degree here in Canada is not exactly same as my undergrad degree and also the subject that I used to teach student back home. So I was wondering if I can apply for PR with this situation.

As currently, I am a Student here in Canada (will be graduated this September). By saying that I don't have Canadian work experience at this point of time.

My question is should I wait until next year as by that time I can have 1 year of work experience here in Canada as Physiotherapist or I can apply immediately after graduation based on my previous work experience as college instructor (NOC 4021) ? but I am not sure if I can add Canadian education although that is different than my previous work experience?

My profile :
Age: 29, single
Education: 1 masters degree in India + 1 masters degree in Canada
Work Experience: 20 months (42hours/week) as college instructor in India, no work experience in Canada
IELTS: R:8, L:8 , W:7, S:7
Have brother in Canada with PR status

Calculate your score under the six selection factors of the FSW program and see if you meet the required 67 out of 100 points.

Assuming you have at least a year of full-time continuous work experience, sufficient points and what I stated above then you'll be eligible. You can then calculate your CRS and see whether your score is competitive or not at this point in time.

How can I calculate CRS ? I tried through one of the website and it said my CRS score is 444 but I'm not sure if that was an authentic site. I was wondering if I can get points for my canadian education as it is different then my previous work experience.

This is the official calculator: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

For having graduated from a Canadian DLI (assuming that's the case) you will indeed get extra points
