Hi guys! Do we need a certain amount of work experience or it's OK if we just got hired?

Also, does part-time/full-time matter?
You just need to be employed at the time of applying, no work experience required if you're applying under the IG stream.
Also it doesn't matter if you're full-time or part-time

Thanks so much!

Is it OK if we're a full-time student (I have gotten my Master's before from Canada, but now I'm a PhD) and also have a full-time job?

I'm currently working in A company and I will prove that I'm working now for new pathway, but I wonder if I change my job during processing, does it seem like it would be a problem?

If you're still here completing your PhD and authorized to work full-time, it shouldn't be an issue.

As it's similar to Express Entry, it shouldn't be a problem but let's see if there is more details on that tomorrow.

Does anyone know if we can apply PR under this new TR to PR pathway when we already have an application being processed under Express Entry?

Please leave the spot for someone who really needs it. If your application is being processed, there's no reason to apply.
This is the problem with this entire thing; it is going to bring out the worst in people IMHO. I bet there will be a lot of people who treat this as a failsafe and apply anyway (for the international grad scheme at least). I guess IRCC had nice intentions with this but what's the point if people who would qualify otherwise waste a spot (I am fully aware I might be one of those people depending on future CEC draws).

But hey man, if you spend this much money on a Canadian education, you want results.

How much is a printer 80 bucks? You're aware of all the costs associated with your application ,right?
Having a printer is not a practical cost. I don't really print stuff in my everyday life, and to get a printer just for this program is ridiculous. Besides, we are living in a digital age.

Hi all, can a contract signed in June 30, 2020 work as employment confirmation? The contract has everything (position title, duties, salary, hours etc). The contract is for permanent employment and is renewable every year. Or do I have to get an additional letter from my employer?

Guys, when the guide is released today let's post it in here and comment if we find any tricky section or interesting points in the guide.

I've watched chatty lawyer's livestream yesterday it it made my blood boil when he said "people not on the ($350 USD) course won't be prepared, they will be able to register but they'll be scrambling around, etc" we have 123 pages worth of information and some really active people on this thread, applying for PR is not that difficult and if you already have all your documents beforehand it won't take long.
