Maybe what the agent was trying to convey was if you applied for HCCP/HSP pilot, you have to wait for 2 years before getting PR due to Candian work experience requirement. I hope that's what the agent really meant. Coz you're right, why not apply thru TR to PR pathway? Maybe the agents have already mixed up their understanding about the policies because so many and different conditions old and new.Most of the agents are not really well informed. If that’s the case, might as well shift to special pathway to PR for essential workers (until November 2021).
sorry, i got annoyed with that agent.
