Guys ... I have a couple of queries here since I have an admit from Ryerson for a 1 year course.

1. What are the chances of getting nominated under OPNP as a part of the Maters stream??
2. If i am not nominated under Masters stream , how can i extend my stay/work permit ??


This info would be helpful for me to decide if i should go for a 1 year course or not as I am awaiting updates from a couple of 2 year courses as well.

Cheers
G

HI guys, I was wondering on the time line of receiving the file number. I applied mid march and it has been almost 2 months. How long does it take to get a file number?

and how is the file number sent to us? by post or email?

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer of your first question. I think some people leave Canada after their status expired and wait for their nomination and come back. Otherwise, I don't know how to extend the permit. Sorry.

If you can justify your application with documents then its highly likely they would nominate you. I think PNP application and PGWP are unrelated so you should be able to get PGWP.

Usually they send file numbers after two months and its by postal mail.

Thanks for the info Spartacus , I understand that the PGWP is unrelated to the OPNP nomination.But my concern is that what options do I have in the following scenarios as I would be having only 1 year of PGWP and it would be difficult to apply under CEC atleast.
1. I am rejected for OPNP
2. I miss the cap and my file is considered the subsequent year for OPNP

I dont know what other options you may have under scenario 1. Just to let u know the success rate is extremely high (80-90 % I heard)

Once u apply to pnp u can apply to bridge permit so that u can have legal status untill your file is processed.

Hope this would help.

Hello all.

On the subject of 1-year masters degrees, If one applies during his/her last semester does this mean things will not work out as smoothly since proof of residency documents (phone bills, credit card statements, etc.) will not cover a whole year by then? In this case, do you apply as soon as you can (i.e. in the last semester of studies) and add/update the proof of residency documents later or do you wait until you are fully ready?

Thanks.

You should apply with all documents ready - and preferably, use one type of document (phone bills, credit card statements, etc.) to prove 1 year of residency in Ontario.

Hi I applied at the beginning of February, provided additional documents at the end of April and was nominated after about two weeks
