Dell,

I would like to ask about Ontario PNP. Since you already graduated from Ontario, why didnt you opt for ON PNP program. I myself will be starting my Masters from McMaster in this fall. There is a mention on Ontario Immig. Website that if you are a masters graduate and that your program is atleast one year, you are eligible to apply for PR and you dont even need to have a job offer for that. Thats what I plan to go for in late 2016 as my masters program is of 1 year. Howcome you didnt go for it?

Your response would be much appreciated.
I did 8 month PG certificate program not MASTERS that's why i didn't do it. AB had the least processing time at that time so i decided to move here but it's been 13 months haven't heard anything yet lol.
I'm trying my luck with Express Entry. if i don't get anything within 6 months. then i'll probably apply for OPNP Masters stream http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNPSTUDENTS_MASTERS.html
Let's see how things work out :)

yes i had 1 yr WP. i applied for Extension of WP (Paper Application) which took 3 months then it got denied then i applied visitors. LMIA is not easy, got denied 1st time. Maybe my employer will apply again.
I can study Masters in Ontario again but I've to give GMAT first, then apply for OPNP if program (Pilot) is still active by that time.

That I do keep in mind. I can only hope that it doesnt end by the time I will be in my final semester. There is a mention of 2500 quota for 2014 applicants. Is there anything announced for 2015 at the moment?

Hello Everyone,

I am a worker here in Canada at the moment, just for info my work permit will expire January of 27, 2016. I just received my letter acceptance from one of the institutions designated by CIC. Now, I have a few questions which I hope you guys could help me.

-is it okay to apply for my study permit as early as now?
-what happens with my current work permit if I get a study permit before my work permit expiry?
-can I work while waiting before the class intake? (Class Starts April 2016)
-for the proof of funds, how long is the money supposed to be in my account? because my plan is, instead of having my parents send me a bank certificate, I will instead just ask them send the money to me and deposit it into my account- is it a better idea?
-do I have to take medical even if Im in canada?
-and also, do I have to have a consultant? - honestly as i was reading all the instructions on how to apply, I felt like I can do it myself, that's why. Yet, of course I do have tons of questions.

any reply is highly appreciated, if you could e mail me back as well, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT TOO! balongskija @ aol.com

Cheers y'all!

Hi dell. May I ask how come your WP is 1 year long although your program is 8 months only? I thought it says on the site that the WP length won't exceed the length of the program.
