4 years study visa

[scylla]

I thought if I could get pgwp I could go back to school with the money I earn and get my bsc

You can certainly try returning to school after your PGWP has ended. Of course no guarantee you'll make enough money to cover tuition for a BSc. You're making a lot of assumptions. Most likely not all of those assumptions will end up being true.

Agents always tell stories about how all easy of this is. That's not the reality.

Wish I could study bsc but my sponsor is only capable of 2 years what my agent told me was that after the 2 years I can start working then start school bsc is that possible?

Who is going to give you any meaningful work in IT (NOC A or B) with only 2 year post-secondary diploma? The competition is too stiff in IT I doubt you will get much value towards a PR after only doing a diploma (with no previous degree at all).

But after I do finish diploma of 2 years and I want to do bsc I only have 2 years for bsc also??
Cause I’ve done 2 years of diploma??
Or I’ll be starting again from the beginning?? 4 years bsc?

Depends on the school, some with give you credit for the 2 years completed while others might not.
As per hustle, e no dey easy like that o. You are limited to 20 hours of work per week as a full time student while school in session. You can't do more if you wanted to. If you violate that, you lose your chance of getting a PGWP. You can work as many hours as you can on your PGWP but as we've said, your chances of getting a job related to your job with an ordinary diploma so you'll probably need to take on menial jobs. That might earn you money to then pursue your BSc but that work experience will not help you get a PR. Be aware that you can only get PGWP once, so you won't get it again after you finish your BSc.

You will get a 3 year PGWP. But as said earlier, with only a diploma you may really struggle to find a job in your field and may end up in a minimum wage job. If that happens, you'll be making enough money to cover your living expenses. However saving money to cover all of your tuition for a BSc won't be a realistic plan.

BSc is normally 4 years. The studies you completed as part of your diploma will most likely not count towards the BSc. The BSc will be a completely separate course of 4 year study.

Waittt I thought pr requirement is just 2 years study and 2 years work experience, then you calculate points if it’s equal to crs score

No - that's quite how how it works and this doesn't automatically mean you get PR.

First of all, you will be competing against other applicants in the program. This means that IRCC selects the applicants with the highest points and this means there's no guarantee you will be selected. You get more points if you have advanced education. Many people in the pool will have Bachelor and Master's degrees which will get them more points. A number will have PhDs. You will be competing against these people for Canada to select you. You will also need to get at least one year of work experience in a skilled occupation (NOC A, B, or 0) to qualify to apply. With only a two year diploma and no real past work experience, the risk is that you may struggle to find a skilled job and get the required work experience to apply. This will be the risk you're facing. You will certainly find a job. However it may be skill level C or D and this work experience won't qualify for Express Entry.

There have been some low CRS scores recently. However this is due to COVID and changes in how IRCC has done draws this past year. Do not assume this will continue. This will most likely end this year. Scores will most likely go up again. And we've seen many people in the past struggle to convert a study permit and PGWP to PR with lower levels of study. That's your risk.
