Hello,

I applied for my Post Graduate Work Permit via paper based application and it was confirmed received on the 25th of January 2018. I was able to link my application to an online account on the 19th of March, 2018. My study permit expired on the 30th of January, 2018. I haven't been able to convince any employer that I am under implied status and as such have lost a couple of jobs.

I want to know possibly when I will get approved and know how to change my mailing address because I just moved.

Anyone here has experience in requesting an employer to fill up the Pre-screen employer form for Ontario's International Student with Job Offer Stream? http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNPSTUDENTS_JOB.html

How did you approach your employer about it and how long is the time-frame in processing?

Is it worth it to do the International Student with Job Offer Stream with Ontario or the process is faster through regular Express Entry?

Thanks for all the advice.
