Next step after PGWP?! Studied in a different province Nd working in another! Please advise!!

[Yj1202]

I graduated with a 1 year diploma in motosport technician program in winnipeg manitoba, in 2019, and i am currently on a PGWP. I tried hard to obtain a job in my field of study for about 6 months but in vain. I then had to moved to Edmonton Alberta for employment; i am currently working as a houseman in a motel in Leduc Alberta.

As my PGWP is expiring in May 2020, being in Alberta i need to have atleast a 1 year work experience to be eligible to apply for permanent residency, i am missing only 2 months to qualify.

I would like to know if you have any options that you could advise me on obtaining a work permit or being eligible to apply my permanent residency. As well as i would also like to know if i will qualify for the Francophone Mobility Program as i speak french.

Thank you in advance

Your employer must obtain an approved LMIA if you want to extend your work permit and work for another two months.

For the Francophone Mobility Program, there are a number of different requirements to meet. You will have to research if you meet them. This includes being in a NOC A, B or 0 role. Also, you must use French habitually on a daily basis.
