Every student who chooses to study abroad in Canada also dreams to get PR status. The question of
how to apply for the permanent residence in Canada after study always lurks.
In terms of
area, Canada is the second largest country in the world. It is also the 10th largest
economy of the world. But, in contrast to its size this country lacks in human resources and is
very sparsely populated. With barely 39 million people, the country is struggling to meet its
ambitious target to rise on the ladder of development.
Canada meets its labor shortage by flexible immigration policies. The most famous and easy ones
are express entry system and Canadian experience class (CEC) which also falls under express
entry system.
Out of these, IRCC prefer Canada experience class system because the applicant is already is in
Canada and has sufficient work and culture experience.
In this article, we will discuss step by step process to acquire permanent residence (PR) status
after completion of study in Canada.
Most of the overseas students who wish to go to Canada do also have an intention to get there
settled by acquiring PR status. This journey starts with the seeking admission in one of the
Canadian education institutes. While selecting the college and the course, please take a note
that these colleges and courses are”PGWP eligible”. And, it should be for minimum of two years
duration. If yes, then, there will be no problem in acquiring the post graduate working permit
(PGWP).
The candidate can initiate the process of for PR only after completion of one year of job under PGWP. The first condition is minimum work experience of 1560 hours in the jobs with NOC code 0, or A or B. While calculating the number of hours, IRCC does not count:
A candidate can also apply if he has part-time jobs and with more than one job his total work
hours come to 1560.
Alternatively, if a candidate does not accumulate necessary hours
from the first full-time job, he can give details of the second full-time job.
During the first year of PGWP, an aspirant of PR should take the language test CELPIP General.
The test is like IELTS and one has to qualify in all the four abilities namely Reading, Writing,
Speaking and Listening.
A higher score in the test increases the CRS score. The Minimum
score under NOC Code 0 and A is
7.0 while for code B is just 5.0
So, soon after completion of prescribed number of hours
(1560 hours), a PGWP holder can start
the PR process by creating profile through an online portal on IRCC website.
Before login
in and register, it is suggested to arrange all your documents such as PGWP,
Employer’s Appointment letter, SIN number, Passport, Transcripts and Valid score of CELPIP
test.
Though, you will not need them to upload but you will need this information while
creating profile. As the profile is valid for 12 month, make sure the language proficiency score
should
also be valid for the same period.
As per the Canadian Immigration policies the Canadian
Experience Class entertain application
only from the NOC 0, A, and B.
The successful filing of PR application may lead to the receipt of Invitation to apply which is
also called as ITA. The issuance of ITA solely depends on your comprehensive ranking system
(CRS) Score. Here you may get 90 days to submit the required documents and the fee.
The
advantage of applying PR through experience class is that you need not to show the proof of
fund. And, your education and work experience in Canada support in getting higher CRS
points.
After uploading the all necessary documents to the profile one has to wait for
about 6 months
for getting the COPR .Which is a letter of confirmation of permanent residence. And, it finally
followed by the Permanent residence card.
