Hi,
I plan to study in Canada, get the PGWPP after my graduation and find a job related to my educational background. I'd thought it was this simple until I came across the provincial nomination program, which is really confusing to me. Do I need to a provincial nomination to stay in Canada after the PGWPP?

Thank you in advance

PS: I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for my question. I didn't know where to ask and since PGWPP leads to Express Entry I thought I'd open the thread on here.

You do not need provincial nomination to become a Permanent Resident. You should create your Express Entry profile once you have one year of Canadian work experience, if your English results are high then your score should be good enough to receive an Invitation to Apply.

Cheers :)

Thank you! So as long as the field/profession that I'll have my Canadian work experience in is on the skilled occupation list, I'll be eligible for permanent residency after the PGWPP and the profession not being in demand in the province won't be a problem. Did I get it right?
 
Correct, it has to be skilled work experience 0/A/B.

The profession not being in demand won't affect your express entry application.
