Work Experience on study permit after new regulations

[ahmed_mahmoud85]

I am international student currently in my final year of my bachelor.
I am currently working as a project manager intern. If I continue working until next January it will be 1 year.

This internship is not part of my school program so I would like to know if this experience can be count towards FSW or CEC since the new regulations allows international student to work full time.

It will not count towards CEC. You can count it towards FSW.

That's great! I don't really understand how the FSW works, how is EE related to FSW and if that's the case my FSW score would be high but my EE will be Low. How is the selection done?

FSW is through EE. Those with the highest EE scores are selected. Last draw was for those with scores 489+.

This seems very hard with my current points. Is there any other program where this work experience can help (PNPs or any other programs)?

You'll have to do that research yourself or hire an immigration lawyer to help you. It will depend on a number of factors (age, past work experience, job offer, etc.) and also what province you're living in now. There's no easy answer to this question apart from needing to spend more time researching to understand the programs.

If FSW and CEC are out of reach due to points then your only option is PNP. This is usually easier for international students studying in the province they are seeking PNP from. Call your provincial office of visit their website for more info. A lot of individuals allow their legal status to loom in limbo and not consider PNP.

I am currently in Quebec, I don't think there is much options for me specially that I don't have French Language proficiency.

If you don't have French language what are you doing in Quebec?

Ok, well you will get a 3yr PGWP. You can leave Quebec and settle in another province and work in a NOC B or higher Job for 1 to 2yrs. Then apply to CEC. You have to do your research along the lines of moving out of Quebec -which province and program you could qualify for after 1 or 2yrs working there. As well as staying in Quebec and passing the French proficiency test with a good score. Time to do some critical and long term thinking.
