Hi everyone,
I hope I'm posting this question in the right place, if not, please let me know and I will move it. I am currently an international Masters student living in Ontario with a PGWP that expires this year - I will only be able to extend it until early next year, since I was not initially given 3 years because of passport expiry.
I was planning to apply for PR, but I'm learning that I need one year of full time job experience. This is the only requirement I do not have, as all the work I did as a student at the university does not count for some reason. I finish my Masters in late April or early May, so I will have about 8 months after I finish to find a job and accumulate the experience.
What is the best way for me to immigrate to Canada and get PR? I'm in Ontario but I'm open to moving to different provinces. So far, I know there is a PNP for Ontario but the window is very small for Masters stream without a job offer. For a new graduate, I know that a full time permanent job offer is almost impossible to get. And getting two jobs (full time/ part time) is also pretty hard in time, especially since they need to be NOC. Are there any resources I can use to help me find jobs, or is there a province that better fits my profile (Bachelor and Masters degrees).
I have worked very hard as a student and have been in Canada for over 6 years, and I'm a little embarrassed I was not able to understand the entire process before this time. Thank you for the help
