Not really, I had enough time on my permit. Without getting too specific (due to privacy concerns), my rights were violated by a company. And if I was put through a fair process, I would probably would have been eligible for CEC. I'm just having a hard time understanding what is the basis on...

This is not my exact situation, it was just a relatable example. Yeah 1 year of work is never guaranteed, but can you make the argument that you were put through unfair circumstances and had your rights violated? I thought H&C stream is for unique situations like that. One opposing argument...

But isn't it possible to apply for H&C from outside Canada as well? What are the different dynamics at play when it comes to applying for H&C from inside Canada versus applying from it outside Canada? Which one has a better chance of succeeding and why?

So under what circumstances do people make H&C applications? When I see the page for it online, it says that it is made in situations where someone will face torture or risk-to-life if they return to their home country.

That's where it gets tricky for me. If I stay with family in the US until October, and then make the H&C application in October, I will have enough savings for the next 1 year. However if I continue staying in Canada, I will be financially worse off.

But the 1 year of experience will grant you a certain amount of points. Can you at least request those points to be added to your profile?

Does H&C only apply to situations where there is a danger to one's life? What about unique situations like if someone was at a Canadian job for 10 months before being wrongfully terminated........if they had 12 months of experience, they would have qualified for a PR stream. So can they say that...

So if someone applies for H&C, how are they supposed to sustain themselves until it gets processed?

I'm not going to my home country though. I am travelling across the US border to stay with family for some time. My motive for going there has more to do with geographical proximity. I should also note that my H&C application does not have to do with safety. I am not going to be in danger if I...

If they ask me for my return tickets or plans to leave Canada, can I tell them that I am planning on applying for PR under the humanitarian and compassionate grounds stream? Because that is what I'm planning on, but I'm not sure of my chances.

My PGWP expires in late October 2025 however the TRV on my passport is valid till 2031. If I travel out of Canada now, will I be able to easily enter again on October 1st 2025? Even though I would have less than 1 month on my permit at that point? I have been told that they often do not look...

British Columbia.

I graduated from a computer science diploma in 2022 and I still have not found a job. I have had a handful of interviews but no luck. I am losing all hope in life and I don't see any future. My work permit expires next year. I just want to ask, what do I do in this situation? I have been...

I have occasionally seen small shops on the street (in major Canadian cities) which have a sign that says " LMIA Jobs ". What are these places? Do they actually help you with finding a LMIA job or are they some sort of scam?

But why would college/university study programs be open to study-permit holders, but not apprenticeships?

I have a little more than 2 years. But doesn't the training time depend on the profession? This link says the training time for a baker can be between 12 weeks and 3 years ( https://skilledtradesbc.ca/baker )

I have a work permit but am struggling to find a job in my field (software). I'm running out of my time on my permit and I want to at least get 1 year of valid Canadian work experience before the permit expires. I've read that there are some apprenticeships out there which you can join to...

Yeah but in my case I only have about 5 months left until my work permit becomes 1 year old....at which point I'll have 2 years left on it. And I've heard that companies prefer applicants who have at least 2 years left on the permit.

In cases like this, don't most companies do a virtual interview?

Well the thing is, I don't have work experience or an extensive portfolio. I'm hoping to get into software engineering or web development. The way I see it is I have a limited time frame to find a job. So I should use that time to apply to jobs and build a portfolio (because those are the only 2...
