If I opt for 1 year Post Graduate Certificate will I get enough time to apply for PR?

Lets say I go for 1 year program ( Post graduate) as I already have my Bachelor degree ( recognized by ECA) - will i get any issues when it comes to post graduate permit and applying for PR ? Will the timeframe be too short even if i get a job as soon I finish my post graduate?

Hi. What is your bachelor degree in? I think on 1 year pg course you will get 1 year pGWP which isnt enough for PR. You will have to extend in work permit category if you get a job either under LMIA or OWP. Or if you get a 2 year PG course you will get a 3 year permit in which you should work for atleat 1 year in your relevant field of study.

Im applying for 2 year pg course for jan 2021 intake. And similar situation. Woild you minc connecting wirh mw so that we can discuss?

Probably not. You need 12 months of experience to attain points for CEC. Between getting your PGWP, the hiring process, uncertainty of your future and other possible hiccups, you are unlikely to get the points you desire. Would advise getting a 3 year pgwp
