Dilemma on PR after graduation

[enigmatic99]

Hello Guys,

I am planning to apply for PR immediately after graduation. I know I will be on safe zone if I apply after working for 1 year here in Canada but I want to get PR early (if that is possible). I am almost to the end of my academic journey here in Canada (completed 2 years masters degree in physical therapy). I worked as a college instructor after completion of my bachelors degree in public health back in India. I have work experience 20 months (42 hours a week) as a college instructor in India.

My academic degree here in Canada is not exactly same as my undergrad degree and also the subject that I used to teach student back home. So I was wondering if I can apply for PR with this situation.

As currently, I am a Student here in Canada (will be graduated this September). By saying that I don't have Canadian work experience at this point of time.

My question is should I wait until next year as by that time I can have 1 year of work experience here in Canada as Physiotherapist or I can apply immediately after graduation based on my previous work experience as college instructor (NOC 4021) ? but I am not sure if I can add Canadian education although that is different than my previous work experience?

My profile :
Age: 29, single
Education: 1 masters degree in India + 1 masters degree in Canada
Work Experience: 20 months (42hours/week) as college instructor in India, no work experience in Canada
IELTS: R:8, L:8 , W:7, S:7
Have brother in Canada with PR status

You can apply right away. Your Canadian education will be considered.

So even my education field differs, I can take the benefit of that right ?

Yup you can. You will be claiming points separately for your education and work experience. So don't worry about it

Thank you so much for your reply. Also as I have worked for 20 months (42 hours/week) that means its would be 3360 hours in 20 months , can I use that as 2 years experience (1560*2= 3120 hours)?

Work experience can only be counted as maximum 1560 hours per year no matter how many extra hours you work in any one 12 month period over that it doesn’t count.

So there are chances that you will be invited in the express entry pool if you have a Canadian Education, a job offer but no Canadian experience?
