The CEC specific draws largely happened during COVID and may not restart.
IRCC has indicated an intent to launch additional pathways for students and those in Canada. However these details haven't been released yet and we don't know what this will involve.
Definitely explore the PNP programs as well.
Thanks a lot for your replies on this forum.
I'm exploring PNP. But most PNPs require the candidate to have a Permanent job offer. However, most work places do not offer Permanent jobs to people who have a temporary work permit.
My job offer, at any point in time, is for 6 months or 1 year, or at the maximum till the date of expiry of the work permit. I don't understand who gives these Permanent job offers (needed for PNP) to a temporary resident.
I'd be grateful if there's any information about this please. Thanks a lot!
