Interesting topic, a few questions i have. I am a mechanical engineer with 3yrs of work exp in india. I am enrolling for a masters program in canada. Looking at your reply, i am wondering if my work exp will help? Will i be able to use my non-canadian work exp and a masters from university to boost my chances of getting PR?mead said:
well yes experience will help u need a letter from ur employer and proof of employment. masters will add a few points but spending so much for those points and spending 2 years is not worth it if u will be judged with everyone around the world who have tons of experience. just set up an express entry profile or use the calculator and see how much points u get if u do master as opposed to working in ur home country for that time. then decide if u want to do masters or not. dont blindly spend ur money on education if its not going to help u get PR.kartz said:
ye well thats true if u have money to spend on expensive canadian education (its 3 times more than the local canadians). people in poor countries r taking loans which they can never pay off and if they dont get PR life is ruined.ferda said:
I will again like to reiterate here in a more elaborate way what our other member has recently suggested. Select an occupation of choice. See the labour market for that occupation in that province, and see how friendly is the Provincial Nomination Scheme for international graduates (proper research is the key here). Take up the course and try to enroll in a course where there are internship options for networking and building relationships. There is a strong likelihood that you will be offered a full time position with that employer. Even if you don't have one, u will be having 8 months to 3 years time, depending on the length of the programme, to search for a suitable job in your intended occupation. As soon as you get one, get an experience of 6 months or less depending on the provincial rules, and apply for the Provincial Nomination. Remember, you will not be requiring an LMIA approved job, unlike TFWs. There are high chances that in most of the times the allotted quota is not reached, and you should expect a nomination from 4-6 months. Once received, file your application for Express Entry. Even if your express entry score is as low as 350, because of the provincial nomination you will end up with a CRS score of 950, assuring yourself that your name is surely going to pop up in the initial CIC draws. Always remember this preference order CITIZEN > PR > INTERNATIONAL STUDENT > TEMPORARY FOREIGN WORKER > SKILLED INTERNATIONAL WORKER.mead said:
well express entry has CEC but first u have to get ITA through express entry and then apply under CEC. if u dont know whats going on with canadian immigration then u should read about express entry. express entry has screwed up lot of international students. under CEC it was almost as if u do 1 year skilled job in canada and u would get PR now with express entry in addition to qualifying for CEC u should also wait for ur number to come up. if ur number never comes up then u wot get a PR ever.juancarlosco101 said:
