Hi,
Corrections:
Not just Master's... if one is pursuing any PG certificate/ diploma or UG certificate, diploma or Bachelor's course... above rules will be applicable for all except for special Master degree & PHD holder streams for students passing out from the provinces of Sask. and Ontario.
Also remember: Skilled job: NOC O,A, or B
Semi-Skilled jobs - NOC C
Unskilled jobs - NOC D.
PNPs:
1.
Nova Scotia - Full time permanent job of NOC O,A,or B. In some cases NOC C jobs are acceptable (as per labour market demand), need to work for min. 3 months... applicable for all.
2.
NL - If course done form NL province, then no need to work for any duration. 1 can directly apply for PNP nomination , provided they have a skilled job offer (NOC O,A or B), in their field of study. Outside NL province students, need to work for 12 months in a skilled job before applying for NL PNP.
3.
Ontario - Only for Ontario based universities -Master and PHD graduates.. no job offer needed, direct PNP provided, 1 meets certain conditions such as showing 11,083$ consistently fr past 6 months (at the time of applying without job). One need to spend atleast 1 year in Ontario and can apply in the final sem of their studies (like if Master is of more than 1 year). 1000 limit only for Master degree students. For graduates (in or outside Ontario students) who are not Master or PHD degree holders.. whole set of rules including getting a skilled job offer from an approved employer. No need to work for certain number of months, and direct PNP nomination if shown skilled approved employer 's job offer.
4.
Manitoba- need to get ANY FULL TIME job with a SINGLE employer, do that same job for min. 6 months, and then apply for PNP. Only difference and advantage for Manitoba based students..that there will be faster processing of PNP applications, will be given 1st priority.
5.
B.C - Usually should have completed a min. 12 months course in or outside B.C. Should have pursued an approved degree programme form an approved educational institute. Should have a full time skilled (NOC O,A or B) job offer. The job offer must be from an approved employer. There is no need to work for certain number of months. The BC PNP will also consider applications for positions under Skill Levels C and D of the NOC Matrix where the employer can demonstrate that there is a structured plan for career progression to an occupation at Skill Level 0, A or B. Nominee applicants whose eligibility is based on a job offer in a NOC C or D occupation may be required to submit a language proficiency test.
There is another Entry Level and Semi-Skilled stream for foreign workers, where NOC C and D jobs are usually considered under 2 years pilot project in Northeast Development Region of B.C for 3 specific sectors -
•Tourism and Hospitality
•Long-Haul Trucking
•Food Processing
where, applicants need to gain 9 months work experience. So, students after getting PGWP..can go for PR via this route too.
To know more about this B.C PNP pilot Entry Level and Semi-Skilled stream see:

6.
Alberta - ONLY for students of recognized educational institutes of Alberta. Must have a full time skilled job in their field of study, do it for 6 months..and then apply for Alberta PNP.
7.
Saskatchewan- Master and Phd graduates of Saskatchewan based universities i.e Univ. of Sask and Univ. of Regina, get direct PNP nomination without a job offer, provided they fulfill certain conditions like showing min. 10,000$( for a single person)in bank a/c at the time of nomination..so as to show proof, one can live for some time without a job. Other graduates of Sask based educational institutes need to do min. 6 months (960 hours) in any type of jobs like full time, part time, co-op, on campus..and at the end of 6 months/960 hours must have ANY full time job offer, and then apply for PNP. Outside Sask. students need to work any number of jobs for 1 year/ 1920 hours, and at the end of 1 year MUST have ANY full time job offer and then apply for PNP. So, Sask. PNP has a greater degree of flexibility. But no advantage in processing times for Sask. students... and it MAY take a longer time to get SINP applications processed under PGWP/other graduate with work ex. stream, as there are many many students rushing to Saks. these days..and hence the longer wait.
8.
PEI - Must have a skilled full time job offer. Do it for 6 months.. and then be eligble for applying for PEI PNP. There are hosts of other conditions and requirements, which can be found on:
http://www.gov.pe.ca/forms/pdf/1861.pdf
9.
Quebec - Do any 2 acd. years/ 1800 hours UG diploma course or 2 UG courses combining to total 1800 hours of study in Quebec, or Bachelor/Master/PHD degrees.. in Quebec in FRENCH medium OR show intermediate FRENCh proficiency.. like passing DLEF B1 exam (with required marks).. then direct CSQ/ Quebec selection certificate in 20 days under PEQ – Québec graduate stream . No questions asked but French intermediate level compulsory. In reality the easiest PR programme.. no work ex or job offer needed nor need to wok for any number of months... nothing. Another route is Quebec Regular program – Foreign student in Québec stream, which is points based where French is not compulsory..BUT 1 needs to get min. 55 points so as to get direct CSQ without interviewe ir need for any adaptability points. It's usually tough to get 55 points without doing a high in demand specific Quebec course and/or knowing minimum beginner level i.e DELF A1/A2 level French.
