They don't officially recognize Taiwan as a country. I can't claim to understand the global politics of it. But here's a funny little thing. There isn't a Taiwanese embassy in the US, and there's no US embassy in Taiwan. They have unofficial buildings that do exactly what the embassy does, but they can't be officially called embassies lmao
Check your facts, the US and all other nations considered ROC (Taiwan) as the one true China after the Civil War in 1949.
Bruh, you just reiterated what I said. I never said anything about the past. I was talking about right goddamn now, where they maintain relations with China and cannot officially recognize Taiwan as an independent country.
and they will not be making further excuses I'll be spontaneously sprouting wings and learning how to fly as well.I think that processing times will come back to normal slowly
Dude I agree that they don't recognize Taiwan today, what I'm saying is their situation is very different from HK, because HK never experienced that independent country status. And to be frank as you said, Taiwan somewhat still enjoys that independent country status with Guatemala, etc.
I don't have any gripe with IRCC, infact I am very happy with how they are handling outland applications.
If you only completed a diploma, that's just about +15 points to the CRS score. I think PGWP is valid depending on how much time you spend studying. 8 to <2 years. They will give you the same time you completed the diploma. If you completed 2+ years, they'll give you exactly 3 years PGWP. If you work for 1 year after PGWP though, you'd be eligible for CEC which grants bonus points on top of the +15 points to the CRS score. So assuming you took a 2-year diploma, that's 2 years + 1 year PGWP, you'd probably have a good chance of getting an ITA in 3 years time. This of course assumes you're under 30 or at least won't take too much of a hit in age.
It is going be hard ngl, it all depends on how you present your application and if you planning to move with your family be ready for huge expenses. Best part is Spouse work permit and if you can get it can help you alot. Again lot of variables in student application with family.
How long: Depends. Your program must be at least 8 months long. For 2 years thesis-based MSc programs and regular PhD programs you get 3 years. For programs between 8 months - 2 years, you're usually given as many months as your program's normal duration.
If people mention that they are gonna write a thesis on how IRCC achieved their 2021 immigration targets despite all the restrictions in their SOP, then they will get 100% approval for their study permit.
