This is going to be such a cluster. I feel for all of you that plan to apply. Good luck.

Honestly I feel safer applying under CEC as all the requirements are mentioned clearly. With the TR to PR pathway, we have no idea and are going in blind. I wonder if the processing times will be really long as IRCC is probably still figuring what exactly to do.

What a mess, the PDF doesn’t seem to say anything new other than we’ll need a dedicated portal account
Yeah no, I didn't get that info from PDF, someone took notes from the Q&A and mentioned it... now there's even hearsay going around about a potential ranking of applicants by level of education and IELTS scores?? there are all sorts of rumors going around. Be careful everyone. Rely only on official announcements.

These are notes: NONE OF THIS IS CONFIRMED, so please just take it with a grain of salt.

• work on study permit will be considered as valid experience
• minimum 1 year (at 30 hours a week) that adds up to 1,560 hours like CEC for essential worker stream.
• language is part of eligibility - test results are mandatory
• Police certificate needed. If you couldn't get them, efforts must be made - upload what they have (with an explanation if needed)
• temporary resident status is a must
• If the work permit expires while PR processing (there might be kind of a bridging work permit which they will come up with in the future)
• The app (portal) is for the client (representative option is not there)
• IELTS General (not academic)
• Can apply on implied status
• Family members inside/outside Canada can also be included in the application
• Application fee - 1050 (including RPRF)
• RPRF - mandatory upfront
• Self-employment does not count as experience (except doctors in some cases)
• Upfront medical exam - not mandatory (if they have it, needs to be submitted)
• Must be currently working, not just employed
