Hello
I'd greatly appreciate it if you could help me understand a few things about applying for PR under CEC as a couple.
I've graduated from a Canadian university, and in spite of all my academic achievements, I struggled in this labor market so hard, that now I can't make the CEC requirements. My girlfriend, on the other hand, was really lucky to secure a good position soon after graduation and soon she will be applying for PR. We've been together for 5.5 years, 4 of which in Canada. We've been living together and can easily provide proof.
I really felt like getting PR on my own, but given the circumstances, I guess we'll have to apply together as partners in law. And the questions are:
a) How does this affect her chances of getting the PR?
b) I have 10.5 months of type 0-A experience, but can't use it to apply under CEC on my own since its eligibility will expire soon. I also have outstanding academic achievements. Do these kind of things matter at all when applying as the partner? (the point is, kind of trying to show that I won't be a burden to her here, that I am integrated within the society already, that I can be a positive addition to Canada etc)
c) Where could I find more information on this aspect? I couldn't find much info on the official CIC website...
Thank you all!
Best,
Dan
