Hello everyone,
I'm currently applying for Permanent Residency in the FAM category. My husband's from Edmonton, and we plan on settling there once I (hopefully) get my PR. If everything goes as planned, there's a good chance we'll get my PR by August; worst case scenario, December 2013.
I am a professional psychologist in my country. While I lived in Canada, I got my designation assessed by IQAS, which I understand is the correct institution for these evaluations in Alberta.
Because of the differences between the Chilean and Canadian educational systems, my degree was qualified as a BA in Psychology, which is not enough to practice as a Psychologist in Alberta. Considering this, hubby and I are planning for me to study in U of A, so as to get a Master's in Psychology and thus be able to practice in Edmonton.
My questions are as follows:
-Can I apply to start my MA in Sept 2013, considering I may not have my PR on time?
-If I am not able to be in Edmonton by Sept 2013, can I start my MA during the second semester?
-Would my application count as an international student's application? In that case, can I change my status for my 2nd year of studies?
I'll appreciate any insights, thank you!
