    CEC explained step by step

    Can someone confirm that this information is outdated? It says you need to have 24 months of full-time experience in Canada, or complete a program of study of at least 2 years in Canada.

    Need opinions: Is this a good idea to gain canadian experience?

    Hi friends. Me and my husband applied under FSW but our points aren't enough to get us an ITA, and PNP is starting to look too much like a lottery, soooo... I had this idea. My husband will apply for a 2-semesters postgraduate certificate in Canada. I understand this is usually a bad idea...

    Can I apply by working only 10 months but 40 hours/week?

    The system asks whether I have "more than a year" or "less than a year" of work experience in Canada. It doesn't calculate this time based on months and hours worked per week so I have no way of knowing.
