Difficult Situation... Urgent need opinion

[engimam]

Hello guys/Senior,

I am currently have to make a decision regarding my future in Canada. Within months from now, I will be finishing my one year post-graduate diploma from university of Ottawa in Canada. Currently i have two choices:

1) apply for graduation and waiting for my one year pgwp then going for express entry. I have a 3 years of foreign work experience and foreign bachelors (in computer engineering, it has been evaluated by wes already as 4 years degree).

2) apply to continue my masters degree ( and pay another 12000 dollars which is a lot for me) with hope that I can get from 1.5 to 3 years pgwp (similar to my seniors).


Which path is better from your point of view ? Does it worth it to pay another 12000 for that ?


Thanks

It all depends on your CRS score. Without that, we cannot give you advice.

Going for a PR is always better if you want to continue living in Canada and have enough points. It reduces the cost of masters significantly.

If your age is around 29 and can get 8-7-7-7 in IELTS you would be in netter stance at getting PR just after 1 year diploma and 1 year foreign experience..

I am 28 years old so If i got IELTS 8-7-7-7 it will be 483 ( with the diploma ) or 495 ( with masters ). I am not sure if the CRS cutoff rates returned back to the rate it was in 2016 ( 480+). I think it will be a challenge. What do you think ?

CRS scores have dropped significantly in 2017. Lowest was about 415 points. Now it's in the 450-470 range. You can find all scores from previous rounds on the IRCC website. There's always a chance it can go lower again. You have a pretty comfortable score, so go for a PR. It'll make your life in Canada a lot easier.

That what I though off, until one of my friends mentioned that the coming CRS cutoff depends on the coming elections in October.

Does your friend work for the government? If anything changes about the current immigration system, it won't happen in a day and night.
