Study permit to Lmia

[Gwen27]

Hi everyone. I just need some advice.
I’m currently an International student (1 year program), nearly finishing the first term. Luckily, I got a part time job and my employer wants to provide a Lmia and will process the work permit under teer 3. Is this possible? If you’re in my case, what will you do? Are there any complications in the PR application in the future? Thank you.

Why won't you complete the program and take the PGWP instead?

Has employer filed and paid for the LMIA? It must be a full time job and has to meet requirements and show recruitment efforts (unable to hire a Canadian/PR). LMIA processing can take months. Then you apply for a closed work permit and show you can do the job (ECA, reference letters, language tests). This will take 4-6 months. So don’t quit school until you have your permit. Having a closed work permit doesn’t guarantee PR. Assume you have a degree/Masters.
