Hello,

I am international student and currently on a study permit. Over the last two years of studying in canada I have worked about 1600 hours (part time while studying and full time on my breaks).

I was wondering If i am eligible to apply for permanent residence while studying and remaining on study permit.
I also have my ielts with a total grade of 7.5.

They have mentioned If you have experience and worked 1560 hours you can apply, they haven’t mentioned that you need to have the degree to apply.

please help as this have made alot of confusions for me.

The TR to PR program you're mentioning is only for international graduates from a canadian institution. OP is still a current student therefore not eligible. No need to copy paste the entire page for something so simple.
