Hi Guys! I need help and good advice . I studied for 1 year and got 1 year work permit now I am currently working as medical admin at a small clinic and the job title is aligned with type B skills so got the chance to have points plus my 3 years work back home. I am still worried thou if these will be enough for my PR application or should I request my company to help me extend my work permit but the thing is I am not sure if we can extend PGWP. Help! I dont know what's the best option to follow.
Does your 3 years back home qualify as a skilled job? With your 1 yr diploma and 3 years experience, why don’t you calculate to see if you got enough points for the federal skilled worker (FSW) category currently?
Another option is to ask your employer if they can get a LMIA for you so you can have enough time after your 1 yr Canadian experience to apply for CEC?
Unfortunately PGWP is a one-time permit which can’t be extended except you have already applied for your PR, then you qualify for a bridging open work permit(BOWP) that allows you to keep working while a decision is being made on your application
Also when do you complete your 1 yr job experience? Is there an extra one month between completion and permit expiry?
