Hi All,
I am currently an international student in Canada who is in the final semester of the Post-graduate certificate program. I do have 3.5 years of industry experience prior coming to Canada. There is a MNC company here that has provided me with a job offer letter. Its a full time permanent job after graduation. My student visa expires in next 2 months and to extend this I might have to take another program. It would be grateful if anyone could answer some of my questions:-
1) For example just consider I have enough of points to qualify for PR. How much time do you think it would take once we apply for PR under Express Entry within Canada? I do understand there are a lot of applications within this pool. But just wanted to know the time taken in average.
2) Would I be eligible for the OINP program? If anyone has received OINP how much time does it take? I was planning to take this as it would help me get more points. I did look through CRS and do have 430+ points. But not 470. Adding points from OINP might help.
3) How many times can an individual apply and then receive Work Permit (WP)? Is it only once?
4) Has anyone faced a situation like mine? Has anyone managed to get PR after 1 year of studies in Canada?
I will post a few more questions in a while.
Thank you.
