PR after one year post graduate certificate and one year masters

[Reine Tobie]

Hi guyz...please i need assistance. I studied for a one year post graduate certificate and a one year masters programs at different institutions but in ontario. Is it possible for me to apply for PR without work experience?
I would appreciate your very candid answer. Thanks so much

Have you assessed your points without experience as that might show the answer. No work experience at all might be a challenge for any PR application.

Just fill a EE profile out and see, but as far I know there's not chance with EE for it (CEC, FSW, FST)

However you could apply for PGWP and hopefully get some experience.

Inmigration Minister said they want to help PG in EE, just wait and see what happens.

In the meantime take extra care to apply properly for PGWP soon after graduate, all fees payed (255+100 I think), documents (letter from University about finishing your studies, transcripts...), letter of explanation...

Better read some post in this forum about common mistakes with PGWP application like passport expiring sooner than maximum PGWP time, wrong fees or documents..


Perhaps some province have a PNP for graduates without experience, I think Alberta had one, don't hesitate to apply soon, but note PNP are usually slow.

Not under Express Entry. But you could try to apply under the Ontario Immigrant Nominee program, there's a stream for M.A. students. There's a quota for the # of nominees accepted per year, so the sooner you apply, the better your chances. Also note that this process no longer supports work permits.

If you are fortunate enough to receive the nomination, you would then have to apply to CIC/IRCC under the provincial nominee class (non-EE, paper-based). Current processing times are about 15 months
