Canadian Experience Class

[Glaucus Narcissus]

Hello,

I am 23 years old. I am going to start 2 years certificate program on January. I heard that when person graduate 2 years program in Canadian college or university , Canadian government is going to give 3 years work permit with Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWR) to gain experience in Canada. I want ask some questions because it is going to affect my whole life.

1) What is the exactly time should I apply for PR card ?
2) When I am going to take PR card after I take 3 year work permit ?
3) How should I take process to take PR card easily ?
4) Should I apply for province nominee program instead of Canadian Experience Class ?
5) Which province should I apply to take PR card easily ?

Thanks for Reply,

Best Regards,

Hi there,

First things first, you have got your calculation wrong. A work permit under the PGWPP may be issued for the length of the study program, up to a maximum of three years. A post-graduation work permit cannot be valid for longer than the student’s study program. Meaning you will be eligble for 2 years of work permit. Now moving to your questions.

1. After you have finished your studies and worked for 1 year full-time, then you can apply through CEC stream.
2. After you apply depending on the rules in place, the processing time would take about 12 months or so. Maybe less, maybe more.
3. The easiest way is search for an example PR card on Google and then print it.
4. You can apply for both, either have pros and cons, it's entirely up to you. I'd say think about it after you're done with your studies.
5. Depending on your major, some provinces offer more flexibility on the process. Read this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-who.asp

Best of luck,

Hello,

When I searched about Canadian Experience Class that it is very popular program for graduation student who want to stay in Canada to take Canadian citizenship. To make a clear that, when you work 1 year full-time , you are going to apply a CEC stream and then you will take PR card in 12 months ?

This is not correct. I agree that the website can be misleading, but the completion of a study program of at least 2 years does lead to a 3 year PGWP - this info is further down the page:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/students/post-grad.asp

If the duration of the program of study is two years or longer as confirmed by the DLI, the duration of the work permit should be three years. Regularly scheduled breaks (e.g., regularly scheduled winter and summer breaks) should not be subtracted from the length of the post-graduation work permit.
