Understood. Correct me if I’m wrong, but i read about a program called OINP which states that upon completion of Master’s from the province of Ontario, I’ll be eligible to apply for PR directly through it. Also in case you did not get this, but I am situated outside Canada right now, having completed my degree from elsewhere and thinking about moving there one way or the other.
Which means i am ineligible for CEC

So you are a doctor and wanting to take a Masters in Kinesology? What school will get admission to? You are a doctor and want to be a therapist…makes no career sense to justify costs. OINP Masters is based on points and NOC selection so not everyone is selected, and there are few Masters draws. Come to Canada if you want to study but with immigration cuts don’t expect PR.

I understand it’s an unusual career choice but I am trying to do what i am passionate about. The place i am at has no future in the field of sports medicine. I don’t know what could be the right way moving forward but certainly staying in the same place doesn’t seem like the best choice. If you were in my place, would you rather go for residency and then apply using physician’s NOC ?

Do you mean go for residency in your home country?

You can try the student visa route but will need to adequately explain the change in career paths. You will also need to show strong ties to your home country and also have the necessary funds.

To secure a residency in Canada you’d need to be a PR already. Also would have to do licensing exams before trying to secure a residency and there are limited spots. If you are fluent in French it is easier. Most leftover residency spots are GP spots. You could technically try to do another year of residency after that to work in sports medicine.

I understand. Ya i meant in my country. I have the necessary funds and the application for student visa ready. Now i must decide which provinces are PR friendly for a future kinesiologist, if any. I believe this is the best option in my case.

Also i wanted to apply as a physician but i have work experience as a student which is paid ofc. But again i am not sure if that qualifies me for FSW.

There aren’t any easy pathways to PR that favour kinesiologists. If you were a licensed physiotherapist that would be different.

As a resident or during medical school? When was the work experience and was it FT?
It was part time, paid, while studying masters. I worked for 2 years but given the working hours, the experience adds up to 1 year, quite understandably. I worked as an assistant medical doctor for the official state soccer league during the pandemic. Mainly the task was to take measures to control infection but also helped treat musculoskeletal injuries. Which is why i am interested in pursuing kinesiology and also the fact that i am an athlete myself. So that’s the reason i don’t mind to earn less if i can build a career in something i love. Sorry if its TMI

It’s sad to learn the fact. So it would be different for someone like a licensed physiotherapist, interesting. What about a public health official? Will be the same as kinesiologist or different?
Had i gone ahead with the PR application, my goal was to study further in any case, with the security of being a resident while also paying significantly lesser fees as compared to what i will be paying in the near future.
Just don’t want to take a decision based on incomplete information which would lead to a burden for lifetime.

Hi
Can you tell me anything about dual intent ? Does it still exist ? What are your thoughts?
will it hinder one of the two applications?

I'm not sure I understand your question.

If you are applying for a study permit, you will need to show strong ties to your home country and also pick a program to take in Canada that makes sense based on your previous education and work experience, and shows progression in your career.

If you state in your application that your primary reason for coming to study in Canada is to qualify for PR and stay here permanently, then you can expect a refusal.

Dual intent works for some situations, but not this one.
