Applying as an International Student with a Job Offer

Who can apply as an international student?

In order to apply to Opportunities Ontario as an international student, students must:

- Have completed at least half of their studies in Canada, and have graduated or will soon be graduating from an eligible publicly funded Canadian college or university (students must send proof of graduation with their application).
- Have completed a minimum of a two-year diploma or degree program, while studying on a full-time basis. One-year post-graduate degree programs and certificate programs, which require a previous degree or diploma (which may have been obtained abroad), are also eligible.
- Have a job offer in a managerial, professional or skilled trades occupation (NOC 0, A or B). The job offer does not have to be related to the field of study.
- Have a job offer that is permanent and full-time and meets the entry level wage for the occupation, rather than the prevailing wage required for applicants in the General Category.
- Apply within two years of the date on which they received their degree or diploma, or in the alternative, during the last semester of completing their degree or diploma (in which case they will have to provide transcripts which indicate that they will be graduating at the end of the semester).
- Have legal status, if the prospective international student nominee is in Canada.
- Have received their employer’s approval letter, Joint Verification form signed by their prospective employer, and Pre-screen Position form.

International students do not need to have any previous work experience. Eligible international students may apply for an approved position from within Canada or from overseas.

So students in Ontario, do not need any work experience.

I recently got a job in ontario, It falls under NOC category.
Now How fast can I start the process for PNP?
Can my employer start the pre-screening of the position?

That is correct. If your job is permanent and full-time, your employer may start the pre-screen process.

Which program did you finish in Canada?
