Hi,

I have 2 yr engineer experience in Australia, im planning to do a master degree in Canada...According to the online assmt tool, im quailified under Federal Skill Worker, given that I stay in Canada for more than a yr.

If I study in Canada for more than a yr but yet to finish my course, can I apply for PR in Canada?

Thanks...

Yes, once you have been in Canada on a student visa or work visa for a year, you can apply as a skilled worker under category 3.
