Hello awesome people,
I am on a student visa (Jan'18 - March '19), and my course ends on Dec 14. As I'll continue working here, I'll need to apply for a work visa/permit (for 1 year) asap after Dec 14.
Also, I'll have 455 CRS points after the course ends. So I stand a fair chance for express entry there. What's the best way to approach this? :
1. Apply for Express Entry once I receive the work permit (expected March-April 2019)
2. Apply for Express Entry at the same time as applying for work permit?
Also, has someone had any experiences with 'Dual Intent'? Because I am on a temporary (study) permit, applying for a temporary (work permit) while also thinking about permanent (Express Entry) residence.
Please advise
Best,
Anir
