One Year Graduate Program (Work Permit and PR INQUIRY)

[invisible_sk]

I am enrolled in Advanced Networking Security Professional program in Willis College Ontario (as an international student). The program duration is 1 year. (will begin in september)

I would like to ask you regarding the work permit after i finish the study program. I heard it will be for 1 year and cannot be renewed? Please provide me details if i ll be able to renew it or no if i have a job offer letter with me. Or do i need to change the course and select a 2 year diploma? Which one would be benificial?

One more question please:
My sister graduated from Carleton University and currently working in canada. She has applied in Express Entry Program and has good score. She is eligible for PR. I want to know that if she gets PR and i am studying in canada then will i be able to get PR too as she got it. Or she will be able to sponsor me or no?

Please i am a little confused. Kindly help me in this regards.

If your goal is to obtain PR, you should be taking a two year program to qualify for a three year PGWP. If you only take a 1 year program then you will only get a 1 year PGWP. If you want to extend the 1 year PGWP, your employer would need to obtain an approved LMIA. The LMIA process is very long and expensive - with no guarantee of approval at the end. Most employers aren't willing to go through it.

No - you will not get PR as part of your sister's application. No - your sister cannot sponsor you. You have to qualify for PR on your own.

Just to add - the school you are attending is a private college. It's quite possible you won't even qualify for a PGWP once you're done. You should switch to a public college like Humber, Sheridan, Centennial. Besides the fact that private colleges don't always qualify for PGWPs, they also have horrible reputations in general in Canada with employers and offer a much lower level of education than public colleges. You should switch to a real school as soon as possible.

Hi all!
After completing Master , I came to Canada as a student for one year program in management(credential awarded- Ontario College Graduate Certificate ). I'm working as designer in one of the Canadian brand (small business). I started as a part time, as I was waiting for my work permit. Luckily I got full time position in the same company one week before I received my work permit.
I'm preparing to apply for express entry after i complete my one year experience.I can do it only in the last week of my work permit. I have no other experience, just few internships. And I don't have any gaps in my education.
I have a boyfriend and we are in serious relationship and I also love my work and want to do the same job during the process of express entry. What can i do to extend my stay in Canada after completing my one year experience, my work permit will also expire on the same day?
Or do i need to leave the country after I apply and wait for ITA?
Please help.
Thank You!
