Hello everyone,

I am an international student currently working part-time for a company for almost a year. I am still in school with only one semester remaining, however, I recently received a job offer for a full-time position in the company. With this job offer can I now apply for PR before completing my studies and what would be the best category to apply under?

Cheers.

Generally an employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA for there to be an immigration benefit and for the job offer to help you to apply for PR. Which provinces are you in?

I am in BC, my NOC is 2171
For Express Entry, your employer needs to get an approved LMIA for this to count as a job offer and for you to get the 50 job offer points.

You'll need to read through the requirements for the BC PNP program to see if this might be an option.
