Graduating in April. What do I do?

[Soomy]

I am due to complete my 2 year diploma in April 2007. I have been in Canada since November 2005. The CIC website indicates that I have to be in Canada for 2 years before I can apply for P.R. status.
Is this really the case or can I apply as soon as I get my postgrad work permit? Thanks.

1.  No where on the CIC site does it say that you have to be in Canada for 2 years to apply for PR.  As long as you were admitted for 1 year, you could in theory apply to Buffalo 15 minutes later.

I think you can apply for P.R. status when you got any srt of work permit or you been there for some specified time(I don't know exactly how much).
