Hi,

I have done my Master’s from a Canadian University and now currently with PGWP. My PGWP is going to be expired soon and now I have no way to extend/apply for new work permit (No permanent job). I want to settle down in Canada but I don’t know what are my chances. My Express entry score is 417 (after adding the 30 for Canadian education). Can I apply to any PNP program? Could you guys suggest me what are my options? I can’t get PNP from the province I got my Master’s as I don’t work there.

Thank you for your reply.

I have seen my fellow student friends moved to NWT where they are experiencing extreme labour shortages. They had to close a few Fast Food Restaurant chains (KFC, DQ etc.)because they couldn't find/retain staff in Yellowknife. All of my friends ended up getting a job offer supported by NWT PNP and now they are PR of Canada. I would suggest you to look into that option ....

at this movement getting EE ITA at 417 points very hard. Better to choose PNP option.

how come your CRS is that low.?

How much experience you have ? and what's your IELTS ?

the quickest option you have is to get LMIA. PNP takes too long unless you try for Yukon.

Exactly, I don't have job offer, age is a factor and IELTS score is not the best. Have 7 years of foreign job experience. LMIA, I wish!

You try for PNP but PNP will take longer and as I said LMIA is quickest option other thing is to try and improve IELTS score

To be honest it's really hard to suggest proper option without really knowing background and stuff, only thing we can do is provide general options but I am sure you already have thought about that.

How bad is your IELTS? Typically, CLB 9 should be easier to achieve than moving to Yellowknife.
