Is PGWP is once in a lifetime opportunity?

[mohil_amin32]

Hello,

I have graduated in 2015 [2-year diploma] followed by 3 years of PGWP, now I am back to my home country as I do not meet the points in CRS tools for PR. I am planning to study one more year in Canada, can I still apply for PGWP after that? I have heard that it can be applied only once in a lifetime per student.

Regards,
Student

You are right. One off opportunity only.

If somebody returns from canada after using PGWP, then if he/she wants to go back and study again...would he/she get the pgwp again?

No. You can only get it once. Getting another study permit & starting another program makes no difference.

No.

If someone still studies, what are the options for work opportuntties?

You would need to find an employer who is willing to give you a job offer and obtain an approved LMIA so that you can then apply for a closed work permit linked to that specific employer.

Not EVER.

You can work part time while you study, however none of that experience earned will ever count towards your EE entry application. Hence unless getting an additional degree will increase your CRS enough, and the only reason you are studying is because you want to stay in Canada, there is really no point on you going through this.

hi, I did not ask about ee or crs. Thanks. You're on a different tangent for immigration. I am on the level to advance skills, work and return.

Still,

You can only study, not work and return.

thank you ...so LMIA is the only option I feel. Okay thanks. A lot of candidates fool canadian gov by saying their intention to study is to study only, however after studying they do PR.
Some candidates want to advance skills and return. And after 4-5 years if they still want to advance some trade skills or something, then gov should give a work permit which would say that you could return after study. I say this because not all want to get pr. That;s why I was asking. Thank you. LMIA is hard to get.

There's no such program. The LMIA is your only option at this point if you want a work permit. Yes, they are hard to get.

Or you can apply for PR directly if you qualify.

Nobody is fooling anyone, Canada has put this system in place because they want Canadian educated people to become PRs and stay here.

Also a PR would have enabled you to do exactly what you want to do, gain those skills and eventually leave if you want, a PR is not citizenship, it is simply a permanent permit to stay and work here without having to jump around to different permits.
