Hi friends
I am planning to pursue 1 year masters from a canadian university. My main agenda of studying in canada is to gain some points so that i can eventually apply for PR. In the CRS calculator, i am having some confusions:
1. I have done graduation from India. Now i am pursuing masters from a canadian university. Which option should i be choosing below:
What is your level of education?
Enter the highest level of education for which you:
- earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate or
- had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) if you did your study outside Canada. (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)
Note: a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate must either have been earned at an accredited Canadian university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute in Canada. Distance learning counts, but only if it made up less than half your study.
Here, should i chose Masters option?
2. Also, here:
Have you earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate?
Note: to answer yes:
- English or French as a Second Language must not have made up more than half your study
- you must not have studied under an award that required you to return to your home country after graduation to apply your skills and knowledge
- you must have studied at a school within Canada (foreign campuses don’t count)
- you had to be enrolled full time for at least eight months, and have been physically present in Canada for at least eight months
Should i choose Yes here?
3. When i have completed my masters and i have a valid job offer, then answering below question in CRS calculator should be a
Yes?
Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (if needed)?
A valid job offer must be
- full-time
- in a skilled job listed as Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B in the 2011 National Occupational Classification
- supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or exempt from needing one
- for one year from the time you become a permanent resident
A job offer isn’t valid if your employer is:
- an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada or
- on the list of ineligible employers.
I am really confused about this last point above "
for one year from the time you become a permanent resident".
Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
