COURSE CHANGE AND PR

[doylia]

Hi.

Can someone please tell me from their experiences.. if you change your course from PG CERTIFICATE course of two years to post secondary DIPLOMA of two years in same college, then is it possible to get PR after three year PGWP?? That is, Can PR be denied based on the fact that one does not continue the course they initially got the student visa for?

Experts please help.. thanks in advance

i was watching the Quebec website for this pupose and I think there is a condition that you cant change ur your course once you get in for something. (for PR purpose)


dont know about other states. Check it out on their individual websites

Hi.. thanks for ur reply.
Im quite sure you can change the course.. in ontario atleast..

But i wanted to know if changing course could have a negative impact on my PR chances in future.
The agency im consulting here told me that it will definitely affect my PR chances in future and they will deny it based on the fact that i didnt continue with the course that i initially got my student visa for. Or because of change of study field. Since my main aim is PR please advice me if i should change or not ??though i really want to change the course based on my interest..

If someone could give me their opinions please and tell me if changing my course will hamper my chances of getting PR in future.
Thanks.. hoping to get some help from the experts

Hi,
Changing course or field of study won't affect your PGWP or PR. As long as you study a 2 acd. years/4 sem/min. 16 months of actual study from a recognized post secondary educational institute in Canada, you will be eligible for a 3 years PGWP.

Once you complete the course, only then you can think of immigration. PR, depends on what type of job you get, how long you work... and most importantly which province and/or immigration programme you choose to apply under.

Hi,

Under Federal CEC for international/foreign students, one needs to work continuously for 12 months full time (or an equal amount in part-time) in ANY skilled job - NOC O, A or B categories, after graduating from a recognized post secondary educational institute in Canada before being eligible to apply.
To know more see: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp

The specific occupations you are talking about, is associated with Federal Skilled Workers, and as of now, the specific occupation list for FSW 2013 is not out yet.
