I am about to graduate with a master's degree in Ontario while on a Canadian study permit. After graduating, I will be eligible to immediately apply for both a post graduate work permit and for Ontario's nomination for a permanent residence application through their non express PNP master's stream at the same time. I am also a US citizen.
I would like to stay and live with my Canadian partner in Canada and commute daily into the United States for the better job opportunities. I figure I can either opt for the visitor record and renew it for as long as they would let me or apply for the PGWP which would be valid for three years.
Is the PGWP the better route to take? Is this even feasible? This is keeping in mind that I would be applying for PR at the same time. I'd obviously have no issue entering the US but my only concern is the daily reentry into Canada. The long term goal would be to wait for my PR to come in from the PNP which I know I would be able to commute no issue with. And God forbid should that application fail, I will have checked all the boxes for spousal sponsorship for another Canadian PR application by the time the first PR decision is made.
Thanks.
