Hello good people,
I came to Canada in September 2021 to pursue a Master of science degree at one of the Universities in Ontario. I graduated September last year (2 year program) and got a PGWP that expires in October 2026.
After a terrible job hunting process that took many months, I was finally able to get a contract role March of this year which I was able to then convert to full time and permanent this summer.
My entire priority all this time was to land somewhere permanent for work and am fortunate it happened in the same role/company. It has been an emotionally draining journey with poor mental and physical health. I have been postponing this PR application process for a while with the safety net of the PGWP but the news today regarding immigration cuts has really upped my anxiety. Please guide if you can..
Some comments/thoughts:
1. What is the best option for me to proceed towards PR the fastest ?
2. Am I right in saying the first step should be applying to OINP Masters graduate stream?
3. Outside of Canada I have 15 months work experience split between 2 companies.
4. My language exam results have expired and I have to retake again..
5. Am I in trouble?
