Want to know if I can proceed this way

Hi All,

I've a Bachelors and a 2.5 years work ex in India (CLB 9 as well). Since I am not not able to clear the cut off for both Immigration options (PNP's and Express entry), I am planning to do a one year full time masters program (already shortlisted univ offering one) and then apply for PR which would boost my CRS score but I am not sure if 1 year master programs are considered as master's degree under ECA, is this approach worth it. Awaiting valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Take a 2 year course. Then you are eligible for a 3 year PGWP. This will give you time to apply for PR.

Not exactly clear from OP if the masters will be taken in India or Canada. The interpretation I got is for the local masters degree to be used as a CRS score boost, which will certainly depend on the ECA recognition.

You could also wait for PNPs to re-open with new criteria in the first half of 2019.

I would like to get a masters degree from an univ in canada so after that one year masters I'll have to apply for PR and also have a crs of around 470
