Without a high school diploma have you actually looked to see if you have any chance of obtaining PR? It’s slightly shocking you were able to get a WP without a high school diploma. That is very unusual.

Why is it unusual? It depends on what job you have .. not every job requires a high school diploma. In terms of work permits what matters is your experience. Not your education level.

There is typically a high school graduation requirement for most WPs and you will struggle to get enough points to get PR without a degree.

: Hi, an insight for PR application under PNP. In our Education system, I finished High school and received my HS Diploma but upon the assessment in WES, my Education Equivalent is the Completion of Grade 11. My work permit application just got approved. I am under SWO.

Assume you mean SOWP which is approved based on your spouse not you
