OntarioGraduate Certificate Program options for PR

[mgupta]

Hi All,

I will be applying for OGCP in IT this september and after completing my course I will get work permit for one year (length of program is 1 year including co-op) . my question is my course is related to Database/Programming (IT) which doesnt not fall under NOC (skilled worker class) then what are my options for PR after my work permit expires.

and does employer has to file for LMO if they want to continue my employment after 1 year of work permit?

Please let me know LMO will be compulsory after 1 year or i can simply apply to extend my work permit and what are my options for PR (I dont fall unser skilled worker category) ?

Thanks a million!

Courses do not have NOCs, jobs do. If you get a job in in programming, the NOC will be
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2006/ProfileKeyword.aspx?val=2&val1=2174&val64=false&val11=programmer&val12=0&val13=0&val14=&val15=0&val16=0

If you get a job as a database administrator, your NOC will be:
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2006/ProfileKeyword.aspx?val=2&val1=2172&val11=database&val12=0&val13=0&val14=&val15=0&val16=0

Both qualify as "skilled" for CEC purposes.

and does employer has to file for LMO if they want to continue my employment after 1 year of work permit?

Yes.

and what are my options for PR (I dont fall unser skilled worker category) ?
