International Student with job offer - Post graduation Course.

I have completed Post graduation degree from Canada public funded college in December 2013. After that i got post graduate work permit for 1 year.

My company had applied for OPNP prescreening in mid of 2014. Still we are waiting for OPNP prescreening reply. My Post graduate work permit got expired by end of 2014. As it is said you need to be on valid status when your file is in process. So I applied for study permit and I have valid study permit.

As per website, it says you have to apply within 2 year of graduation and have to be on valid status when you apply for PNP. (valid status can be anything student, visitor, worker).

When i will apply with any valid status for PNP, I will be have permanent job offer letter from my company. So i meet all required criteria.

1) So i can apply any time when i get my Prescreening approval ? or do i have to wait again for my studies to get over.(Note : I have already graduated in December 2013 and my degree is still valid for 2 year for PNP., this is just another post graduate degree.)


Thank you

Why didn't you apply for a TRV though? makes more sense to be on a visitor status, rather then a student again. BTW the processing time for OPNP is terrible. I applied in September of 2014 under the same stream. Still waiting for the nomination. At least the employer and the position got approved rather fast.
 
Hey thanks for your reply.

I had two option visitor or study.

I applied for studies because my employer was ready to offer me contarct job for 20 hours a week with same full time salary. So i thought better opt for that rather than going for visitor.

But as per there website it says, u need to apply well within 2 years of graduation. When i will be applying that time, my status should not matter, because it can be any valid status. I am fulfilling most of criteria.
