Hello guys,

I have recently completed my masters degree here in Canada. Now I am planning to apply for PGWP.

I was wondering if I can apply for PGWP and FSW EE at the same time or have to wait for PGWP to be approved and apply for Express entry later on?

Since you have Canadian studies and would be getting Canadian experience, I'd suggest you apply for CEC. Also, you'd need minimum 1 year of work experience to be eligible in EE. I'd suggest you to get your PGWP, work in Canada for one year, and then apply, things would pace up then rather than right now and

NO, you cannot apply for both the things at the same time. You'd have to wait till you get your PGWP.

Actually, I already have 3 years of work experience back home. So even with average Ielts score, my crs can be over cut off points.

Yes so in that case, go ahead and apply for PGWP and then apply for EE. I hope you'd have all the documents required from your previous work experience.

Yes, my employer will provide all documents as per the ircc requirements. Do I need to wait until my PGWP gets approved or not ?

Yes, in my suggestion, I'd ask you to wait as if required, they'd ask you to upload the documents of your current status in Canada. Once, you have a secured job, you can fast track your PR application.
