Awesome video. It's so easy for random people online to confuse their little knowledge of immigration for expertise, even though they have never gone through the process themselves and realized how hard it actually is.
Hey!! You almost cleared all the doubts, because I have also 1yr study program in Canada. Thanks a lot. I badly searched for this kind of explanation, finally found your videos. I have watch related videos as well which you discussed in beginning of this video. You showed a clear path. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for this video. I am currently in the exact same situation stuck at 480 CRS with everything maxes out. The scores are really high, 522 at the moment, and not seem like going down soon. I have decided to go back to my home country to gain foreign work exp to increase the score instead of staying as a visitor and gain nothing as well as loose money for rent, groceries and other things. Again thanks for the detailed insight and options discussed in the video after work permit expiration.
You wanted to stay in Canada and you have explored every options possible. I admire you trying!. You didn't give up. Now. finally you got your PR. This is only a start of your life, what's next chapter of your life? You will do well consider you have the problem solving, consistency and perseverance skills. Well done!!.
Oh man, I teared up reading your comment. It gave me a bit of goose bumps as you nailed my Canadian journey in a few sentences. Thank you for such an uplifting comment. Really appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing all of your journey. You are a real fighter both physically and mentally. I bet your video here will help and inspire millions of others who might be caught up in similar situations.
After watching a handful of your videos, I can now picture out how the process works. On the contrary, I will go with a 1-Year Program still since that is the only viable option for me, I know you repeatedly said it's risky but I think I have backup plans if I inevitably will be on visitor status. My Canadian friend also sent me a link to your Tiktok, a lot of informative videos there too!
Rachel....you are a great woman. With your videos I have understood all this procees to move to Canada. It's a shame to know you are in trouble. Never Give Up....you can do it!!!!
Hello Rachel, Can you please make a video on visitor visa application inside Canada for those whose pgwp is expiring and wanna opt the same route? Thank you in advance.
I have decided to take a 1 year program in Manitoba as there are two streams I will be eligible . The international student career pathway or the skilled worker in Manitoba which requires 6 months of work in Manitoba . My strategy is to also have a visitor visa before applying for the study permit. I will only apply for the PGWP once I have a permanent job. I would also encourage people to actively research PNP groups go learn processing timelines for different pathways
There’s no long legal process for employers supporting B.C. PNP applicants. The only issue is employers willingness. They literally just have to submit documents that they are a legit company/institution.
Hi my pgwp is expiring in feb 2024 . And i have applied for ontario pnp and waiting for approval of nomination. How can i maintain my status? Please help me
Hi Rachel! You don't know how much you have helped me with your channel!! I really don't wanna bother, but I'd love to have your insights in one particular situation of mine 🥺 I'm planning to apply as as international student to a 2-year Diploma and then apply for PGWP. My current passport expires in June 2024 and I already hold a canadian tourist visa on it. Should I renew it before applying for SP so I can obtain my full PGWP length in a couple of years, or should I wait and renew it upon expiration? Do you think renewing it now may affect my SP application? Thank you very much, I have not been able to solve this out!
Hi, why don't you apply for a fake extension before the pgwp expiry and remain in implied status so that you could continue work until you get AOR (if not implied status is rejected )
Hi Rachael, I have a question for you. My pgwp was also of 1 year which will be expiring in February, and I still have to apply for my PNP, can you guide me, if there is any way I can extend my work permit either waiting of PNP or any other thing? What can be done to extend the work permit when it's about to expire and haven't applied to PNP?
Hi Rachel, thank you for your video. You really summed up a lot of information in a short video. I just had a few questions because my PGWP is expiring in 4 months and there's no luck I'll get an invitation soon. Could you leave Canada for vacation once you get approved for your visitors visa? Could you apply for your PR after you get an invitation outside of Canada? How long in general does your Visitor's visa last?
Hi. Im now on the same boat like you were. I lost my work permit saying im not eligible to extend. I was already on visitor record when i got an ITA and already got an AOR 2months ago. But i heard that visitor cant convert to PR directly. I got discouraged. When i saw your video, i saw hope again. Is it really true that people with the same situation like us cant apply for PR? Thanks
Hi Rachel, When is the best time to apply for PR if one has a 1 year PGWP? My reason for asking this is because you said, you did not receive ITA on time.
It should be considered a 2 year study program. Make sure to check with your program's information to confirm. If 2 years, then it makes you eligible for a 3 year PGWP.
Thank yor sharing the video. I also want to stay here on Visitor Status. My PGWP is also going to expire very soon. How can I change my status from Work permit to Visitor? Because I already have Temporary Visitor Visa on my Passport. So, do I have to contact IRCC or I can just stay in Canada without Working?
Heyy please can you help in process of applying a visitor record. I dont know how to apply. I have same case as yours. My PR file is in process but work permit is expiring next month. How to apply on visitor and what reasons and documents and cover letter do i need? Please if you can help me, i would be grateful. :)
because you were on visitor status. If you still had your PGWP valid at the day you got your AOR after submitting your PR application and you managed to apply for BOWP using that AOR, you would have been under implied status until you would get approved for BOWP. Once you have changed your status this was no longer possible. And of course in order to be approved for PR you must keep a legal status in Canada. However you could have just left for a year and return once all is approved. PNP itself would not help (except of Quebec). You would still need to have that AOR after you have submitted your application to the federal process. The difference is that few provinces still have PNP that are not integrated into Express entry, so getting such PNP, would mean that you could have sent your application without ITA. The problem again in your case was time. PNP is additional step, so they can take several months to get it (which you did not have). Simply said whenever you ask your employer for anything more than just simple recommendation letter or proof of past work experience, expect to hear no. LMIA is most of the time rejected by employers and is only considered for higher end positions (or illegally paid or a family business). Permanent contract commitment is something they do not want to give unless you already are PR. So in your case kind of you opted for top 3 wanted province (BC, Ontario and Quebec), so PNP programs are much stricter there, as they do have way too many applicants. And also consider yourself lucky, as you were saved by Covid, otherwise your 450 points might not have been enough (only during Covid CEC applicants got higher preferential treatment, while before CEC draws only were extremely rare)
It is almost impossible to get BOWP with 1 year canadian work experience (under NOC 0,A,B) because of the time limitations and especially these days with the lengthy processing times. 1 year is very hard even if you find a decent full-time job immediately after graduation as the job security these days are also in jeopardy (depends on the industry). 2+ years or 1+1 is the way to go as you would have time to make the money back (think as if it is an investment). Pandemic literally saved so many lower scoring candidates.
@@Kakiharaichii yes that is correct. Unless you go to study to Manitoba. Their PNP program accepts from 6 months of work experience in Manitoba. However Manitoba is not on the top of the most wanted provinces. Also some other provinces might have PNP for freshly graduated. However BC would be the worst choice there, as they do require a job offer, it has to be in top 100 wanted profession and they also give more points the higher your salary is.
@@Kakiharaichii if you want to get into Canada any province is good enough, except when you have a specialization that does not match with that province (for example an ocean marine biologist should not choose a province that has no access to sea or ocean). 1. you might find out your future there 2. Just like for any other province you might move later on somewhere else in Canada. Just so you know there were people that did not manage it somewhere and then moved somewhere else. So do not look on popularity of the province / area, look on how your skills and specialization is compatible with that province and which professions are in demand there.
Thank you for your videos, extremely helpful! ☺️ I tried the CRS tool and found that with 1 year work experience and 1 year program, my score added up to 509 points (I have already 4 years skilled foreign work exp, and aiming for IELTS score of 7.5-8), would you think taking a 2-year program the best way to go? Thank you for your advice and God bless!!! 🇨🇦
I get very nervous when someone gives me a high CRS score. I have many people miscalculate their CRS score and it turned out they actually have a lower score. Please do not base your whole future goals on a miscalculated score. If you have 509, I recommend that you get it confirmed before deciding on taking a 1 year or a 2 year course.
Urgent help! Hi my PGWP is expiring on 5th January 2024. But my TRV is valid until 2025. Do I have to leave Canada before 5 Jan 2024 and come back or I can stay in Canada after my PGWP expires since I have valid TRV?
If I am in the Express Entry pool (CEC) but my CRS is below the cutoff, I wont get an Invitation to Apply for PR. But am I still in the EE (CEC) pool? If so, in such circumstances, if my Post Graduate Work Permit is Expiring, Can I apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit? Or only People with Invitation to Apply for PR with CRS score above the cutoff can apply for Bridging Open Work Permit? Please explain. Very Important for me.
Hi what did you do??? Could you please tell me because I am in same situation and I have no idea what to do now?? My work permit will expire in January 2024 but I am still waiting for invitation in express entry.
Please reply what should i do My pgwp expiring in two weeks. I haven’t applied for express entry my crs is low. But i applied for pnp still the points are too high. What should be the best option for me right now. I am roaming around for lmia but cost is too high I cannot afford it. What should i do. Please 🙏🏻 tell me.
Given your situation, it may be in your best interest to speak with an immigration lawyer to determine the best path forward. I know there is a cost that you have to pay for this service. However, its better to have someone advice you as opposed to getting random unqualified advice from people online or your family or friends.
Hey, thanks a lot for sharing your story. I’m on the same boat right now, waiting for ITA under CEC and 45 days left to expire my PGWP. I am kind of not sure between should I study again ( give me 1 year study permit) or apply for visitor visa? I know you have pretty much addressed here, I’d be happy to discuss and get some suggestions on this if you agree. Thanks is Advance! Cheers
@@THESUBALDEBROYEXPERIENCE even if you already know that it will not be accepted ? What will happen if cec doesn’t resume and your extension gets refused ? Should you leave the country ? Also why you don’t apply for pnp ? In which province are you based ?
Hey Rachel, very informative content, thanks so much. Was wondering if you know whether by doing a 1+1 program, one would be able to qualify for a 2 or 3 year pgwp? Thanks
if I have a 3 year PGWP, can i apply for PR even with just 1 year of working a NOC B job or should I finish my 3 years of PGWP before I can apply for PR through CEC?
You can create a profile on EE once you have met the eligibility requirements. Meaning if you have the necessary 1 year skilled work experience, then you can apply.
Also, does the Canadian work experience has to be related to the program you finished to e eligible to apply for CEC? Or as long as the job is NOC 0, A, B, it is fine? Thanks again Rachel in advance ☺️
My closed work permit is going to expire in March 2021, I am also looking for options to stay legal in Canada. I will apply through a Canadian experience class, but for that, I can only apply after the completion of one-year of work experience. I wanted to ask how long we can stay as a visitor in Canada?
I DIY all my immigration applications. However, if you need assistance, please use authorized representatives (immigration lawyers or immigration consultants). If you need to find one, please send me a an email to rrdancel@canxvisa.com
I have a Wonderful question, but first let's summarize, You study 1 year, you had PGWP in 1 year, and the mess arrived.... So this is my question, why don't you work again as a regular worker, means apply for a working visa, something like that rather than being visitor?
@@rrdancel there are several streams for each case...I told you about these provinces because in Saskatchewan or NL not necessarily you must have a job offer to apply. NL has one stream called priority skills for instance...And, Saskatchewan has one called skills on demand...both of them have a grid point assessment and if you get a minimum threshold score ( 60 points ) you might get a provincial nomination.
I did a bit of reading on NL Priority Skills. My work experience in not on the demand list. Nor is my work experience on the Saskatchewan Skills In Demand List. Making me ineligible to apply to both. Also, the low number of nomination for both programs. Most of these PNP depends on some sort of connection to that province. I thought I had the best chance in BC because I worked there.
@@rrdancel sure, but according your experience, the employers don't want to give you a job offer due to burocratics issues involved. I get your point...study again is not a good choice for you in this step of your life..I have a master degree and I would want to apply to immigrate. I also, don't want to study again..but, according this scenary is mandatory get a job offer. I hope you can achieve this goal.
Hi Rachel, do you have any experience for Ottawa city and University of Ottawa ? As I will have a plan to attend master class 2years course. If you have any info, please share to your subscribers or me ☺️ Thank you
After graduation from college or university in alberta ,you can earn 300 points in express entry to be eligible for a Alberta immigrant nominee program for international student. It doesn't require a job offer or anything else ,if your field of study is in occupation list of alberta then you'll probably have a chance to apply for alberta pnp and earn extra 600 points in express entry system .
My whole point is there is no easy PNP. PNP depends on if you meet eligibility. For those that met eligibility AND got a nomination, then it may seem easily. My work experience is not on the occupation list of demand. Also checked Saskatchewan list of demand and my experience is not on that list. All PNPs are very specific to an individual and does not apply for everyone.
YeS I DiD!! I shared my story here: th-cam.com/video/zu4KInpIpLo/w-d-xo.html But I’m sharing the pitfalls I’ve encountered along the way bc getting here wasn’t that easy nor straightforward. And I want others to learn from my mistakes 👍👍
Is it easy or a good move to enroll in 1 year program in George Brown College and then reapply for another bridge course for another 1 year and get PGWP for 3 years? And how easy is to get PR after completing courses for 1 + 1 years? Many thanks
Thanks a lot for your experience and share it to us all.. i believe it is not easy.. but i also believe something good will come upon you.. you have given us a lot of insight through your videos.. thank you.. be strong.. God is with you.. 🙏🏼🕊😊💪🏼
I don't understand in some videos people are saying that only PR acknowledgement is needed not ITA.. in fact in the official website of ircc I have read that acknowledgement is needed..then why did you need ITA?
sorry for the potentially dumb question but wouldn't it have been more cost effective to have just gone back to the Philippines and wait for your PR application results there? i've read that it is actually allowed to leave Canada while waiting for your PR application results or am i missing something here?
While you were maintaining your status as a visitor did you show proof of funds while applying PR? Or were your exempt as you were Canadian experience class?
Thanks for sharing!! I'm in the same situation right now. My PGWP expired in Dec 2021 and with no CEC draws, I had to change my status to visitor to remain in Canada. 4 months waiting and counting T_T
Have you also considered lmia except occupation such as home child support worker? Could this give you a work permit without the need for LMIA perhaps?
I believe you would still need a job offer and work experience in NOC 4411 and 4412. Both of which I don’t have. Plus there have been many issues with that program as it is always open for review by the immigration minister.
I have a very quick question. Can one be eligible to apply for CEC program while being on Visitor status in Canada? Or does it have to be a FSWP program? Also, when my PGWP expires, do i gave to quit or can i just apply for leave of absence from my work? - where they keep my position open for me at a future date but do not pay me during the period of absence.
Hiii Rachel!! I have been following you for months now because I have about to take the risky 1 yr program and I have a quick question. Some says that in order for one to be eligible for BOWP, one must simply pass the confimation stage for EE. And you can just submit that confimation letter of successful creation of EE profile? Thanks again.
So in order to be eligible for BOWP, you must have already submitted a complete PR Application and have received the AOR (acknowledgement of receipt) Creating an EE profile is different and that does not mean you have applied for PR.
Im a PGWP and the company I work for said they would do the francophone pathway, I paid the test $400, the clases $2.000Cad and 20 days before my visa expires they tell me they wont do it! 😮😅 So cruel!!!!!!!! I am Working with all the blessings I have around me, as you say.. work with what you have! And Today I woke so lost in terms of posibilitys and your video helps me keep the faith and you address the fears and Pain that we are all feeling 😢. Thank you!!!! Blessing’s for all and for your process.
🙏🙏🙏 In exactly same situation now and praying that Canada will release something that benefits my situation after investing time, money and sacrificing a lot from previous good life status before coming to Canada, thank you for your inspiring words!
Smart and an insightful narrative of a rich experience. Keep the inner light shining.

Thank you for your videos, extremely helpful! ☺️ I tried the CRS tool and found that with 1 year work experience and 1 year program, my score added up to 509 points (I have already 4 years skilled foreign work exp, and aiming for IELTS score of 7.5-8), would you think taking a 2-year program the best way to go? Thank you for your advice and God bless!!! 🇨🇦
I get very nervous when someone gives me a high CRS score. I have many people miscalculate their CRS score and it turned out they actually have a lower score. Please do not base your whole future goals on a miscalculated score. If you have 509, I recommend that you get it confirmed before deciding on taking a 1 year or a 2 year course.
@@rrdancel Hi, thank you for replying!! What are the methods that I can get it confirmed? :)
Its always a good idea to get it reviewed by an immigration lawyer or immigration consultant. Also note that it will cost you money to hire one.

Urgent help! Hi my PGWP is expiring on 5th January 2024. But my TRV is valid until 2025. Do I have to leave Canada before 5 Jan 2024 and come back or I can stay in Canada after my PGWP expires since I have valid TRV?
If your work permit expired after Jan 2020 u can apply for open work permit as per new policy of IRCC
I have answered this question already in your other comment. Please refer to that.
If I am in the Express Entry pool (CEC) but my CRS is below the cutoff, I wont get an Invitation to Apply for PR. But am I still in the EE (CEC) pool? If so, in such circumstances, if my Post Graduate Work Permit is Expiring, Can I apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit? Or only People with Invitation to Apply for PR with CRS score above the cutoff can apply for Bridging Open Work Permit? Please explain. Very Important for me.
Hi what did you do??? Could you please tell me because I am in same situation and I have no idea what to do now?? My work permit will expire in January 2024 but I am still waiting for invitation in express entry.
@@NishaSharma-no3hm did you get your ITA yet? Im also in the same situation
Please reply what should i do
My pgwp expiring in two weeks.
I haven’t applied for express entry my crs is low.
But i applied for pnp still the points are too high.
What should be the best option for me right now.
I am roaming around for lmia but cost is too high I cannot afford it.
What should i do. Please 🙏🏻 tell me.
Given your situation, it may be in your best interest to speak with an immigration lawyer to determine the best path forward. I know there is a cost that you have to pay for this service. However, its better to have someone advice you as opposed to getting random unqualified advice from people online or your family or friends.
I'm scared that my employer wont do the employment form oinp too😢 i want to ask but sighz
Thanks for sharing
Hey, thanks a lot for sharing your story. I’m on the same boat right now, waiting for ITA under CEC and 45 days left to expire my PGWP. I am kind of not sure between should I study again ( give me 1 year study permit) or apply for visitor visa?
I know you have pretty much addressed here, I’d be happy to discuss and get some suggestions on this if you agree.
Thanks is Advance! Cheers
Hi
What did you do finally ? Can u share plz
@@ytlover1420 Applied for WP extension to borrow some buffer time.
@@THESUBALDEBROYEXPERIENCE even if you already know that it will not be accepted ? What will happen if cec doesn’t resume and your extension gets refused ? Should you leave the country ? Also why you don’t apply for pnp ? In which province are you based ?
@@THESUBALDEBROYEXPERIENCE could I ask how you applied for an extension? I thought a PGWP doesn’t allow for extensions?
Bro what happened to you?
Hey Rachel, very informative content, thanks so much. Was wondering if you know whether by doing a 1+1 program, one would be able to qualify for a 2 or 3 year pgwp? Thanks
Both programs must be PGWP eligible. However, the decision for the 3 year PGWP approval is up to the visa officer.
Same situation of my wife so pls till me how many month takes for approved bridging open work permit
if I have a 3 year PGWP, can i apply for PR even with just 1 year of working a NOC B job or should I finish my 3 years of PGWP before I can apply for PR through CEC?
You can create a profile on EE once you have met the eligibility requirements. Meaning if you have the necessary 1 year skilled work experience, then you can apply.
@@rrdancel you’ve been a great help! Thank you!
th-cam.com/video/w1SRktbL6cs/w-d-xo.html
hi , if you get another sem, meaning you can't apply for another pgwp?
Hi po, can you feature filipinos that was not approved from pwgp to pr? At least we can learn something from it.
Hi Rachel, how long were you on a visitor visa? Thank you!
Also, does the Canadian work experience has to be related to the program you finished to e eligible to apply for CEC? Or as long as the job is NOC 0, A, B, it is fine?
Thanks again Rachel in advance ☺️
My closed work permit is going to expire in March 2021, I am also looking for options to stay legal in Canada. I will apply through a Canadian experience class, but for that, I can only apply after the completion of one-year of work experience. I wanted to ask how long we can stay as a visitor in Canada?
A maximum of 6 months at a time ☺️
Same case but I got visitor visa during 2021. Can stay longer here without leave county
You can stay as long as your status permits.
How did you switch to visitor status, did you have to leave Canada and re-enter as a visitor?
No, I applied from within Canada and waited in Canada as well for the results on implied status.
@@rrdancel ah ok thanks! So basically you applied for visitor record?
Thank you for your video, I gave up for a moment. Could you recommend us the agency that helped you process the PR and international student please.
I DIY all my immigration applications. However, if you need assistance, please use authorized representatives (immigration lawyers or immigration consultants). If you need to find one, please send me a an email to rrdancel@canxvisa.com
Rachel can you tell which course program in IT is the best
I am not sure which one is the best. The proper question is which one is the best that will accept you into their program
Can you apply for PR while still in school?
I have a Wonderful question, but first let's summarize, You study 1 year, you had PGWP in 1 year, and the mess arrived....
So this is my question, why don't you work again as a regular worker, means apply for a working visa, something like that rather than being visitor?
The answer to your question was analyzed and thoroughly explained in this video.
th-cam.com/video/w1SRktbL6cs/w-d-xo.html
What if you study a 2 year course. Wil they give you a 2 year pgwp? Thanks. Very informative
If PGWP-eligible, a 2-year program can give you a 3-year PGWP ☺️💕
Thank you :)
And Saskatchewan provincial nominee? Or Newfoundland and Labrador? Have you looked for these streams?
There are so many streams under each PNP. Which one are you referring to specifically?
@@rrdancel there are several streams for each case...I told you about these provinces because in Saskatchewan or NL not necessarily you must have a job offer to apply. NL has one stream called priority skills for instance...And, Saskatchewan has one called skills on demand...both of them have a grid point assessment and if you get a minimum threshold score ( 60 points ) you might get a provincial nomination.
I did a bit of reading on NL Priority Skills. My work experience in not on the demand list. Nor is my work experience on the Saskatchewan Skills In Demand List. Making me ineligible to apply to both. Also, the low number of nomination for both programs.
Most of these PNP depends on some sort of connection to that province. I thought I had the best chance in BC because I worked there.
@@rrdancel sure, but according your experience, the employers don't want to give you a job offer due to burocratics issues involved. I get your point...study again is not a good choice for you in this step of your life..I have a master degree and I would want to apply to immigrate. I also, don't want to study again..but, according this scenary is mandatory get a job offer. I hope you can achieve this goal.
Yes, studying again was my second least favourite option. But, if you can do it, then it is a good option.
Thank you ma'am
No, thank you for leaving me a comment!
Assurance
Definitely!
Can you apply a job while you are in Visitor's Visa status? What are the consequences if you don't have a job when you are in Visitors visa status?
Well, its a bit tricky. Your employer must be approved to hire foreign workers. Its a long, difficult and costly process the employer to go thorough.
@@rrdancel Alright like what you have said. the LMIA, I got It. :)
Thank you.
th-cam.com/video/w1SRktbL6cs/w-d-xo.html
How many months did you spend in canada on a visitor status?
Just a bit over 1 year.
@@rrdancel 😅😅😅 So that's the reason you suggested taking up the second course.thank you
Hie I just want to ask you that can I get pgwp after 27 week program
The program length has to be a minimum of 8 months to be eligible for PGWP.
th-cam.com/video/w1SRktbL6cs/w-d-xo.html
How long can u stay as a visitor pls do answer all?
Its as approximately 1 year.
Hi Rachel, do you have any experience for Ottawa city and University of Ottawa ? As I will have a plan to attend master class 2years course. If you have any info, please share to your subscribers or me ☺️ Thank you
Hi Dear, unfortunately I am not familiar with Ottawa. Maybe another someone else can share their thoughts with you here.
❤️❤️
Why didn't you go to other provinces like alberta , its much easier to get pnp in other provinces like alberta or saskatchewan
Which programs are you specifically talking about?
After graduation from college or university in alberta ,you can earn 300 points in express entry to be eligible for a Alberta immigrant nominee program for international student. It doesn't require a job offer or anything else ,if your field of study is in occupation list of alberta then you'll probably have a chance to apply for alberta pnp and earn extra 600 points in express entry system .
My whole point is there is no easy PNP. PNP depends on if you meet eligibility. For those that met eligibility AND got a nomination, then it may seem easily.
My work experience is not on the occupation list of demand. Also checked Saskatchewan list of demand and my experience is not on that list.
All PNPs are very specific to an individual and does not apply for everyone.
Yup, you are completely right , wish you the best and btw you are doing great in this channel

Yeheyyy! 🤗
DID YOU GET PR OR NOT
YeS I DiD!! I shared my story here: th-cam.com/video/zu4KInpIpLo/w-d-xo.html
But I’m sharing the pitfalls I’ve encountered along the way bc getting here wasn’t that easy nor straightforward. And I want others to learn from my mistakes 👍👍
Is it easy or a good move to enroll in 1 year program in George Brown College and then reapply for another bridge course for another 1 year and get PGWP for 3 years?
And how easy is to get PR after completing courses for 1 + 1 years?
Many thanks
👌♥️
Thanks for watching! 🥰
A transparent and truthful video, appreciate you 👍 and can u pls reply me on insta as I need ur advice.
I hope I replied. I am trying to get to everyone on IG as quick as I can.
Langara College 😃
hehehe YA KNOW IT 😜💕
is it possible to contact u thru email? i have some questions to ask...tnx
Yes certainly, please send an email to rrdancel@canxvisa.com
if u marry a canadian citizen, i think it will somehow give u more possibilities to get ur PR,,
Or I can do it on my own, which gives me more freedom in life.
Thank you! ❤ Great Message
Thanks a lot for your experience and share it to us all.. i believe it is not easy.. but i also believe something good will come upon you.. you have given us a lot of insight through your videos.. thank you.. be strong.. God is with you.. 🙏🏼🕊😊💪🏼
I don't understand in some videos people are saying that only PR acknowledgement is needed not ITA.. in fact in the official website of ircc I have read that acknowledgement is needed..then why did you need ITA?
sorry for the potentially dumb question but wouldn't it have been more cost effective to have just gone back to the Philippines and wait for your PR application results there? i've read that it is actually allowed to leave Canada while waiting for your PR application results or am i missing something here?
While you were maintaining your status as a visitor did you show proof of funds while applying PR? Or were your exempt as you were Canadian experience class?
if i were you... ill study nursing iin the philippines. pass the board exam and take inclex then apply to canada.
After you switch to visitor ? What’s next Im in the same boat and running out of options . Stressing times …
Thanks for sharing!! I'm in the same situation right now. My PGWP expired in Dec 2021 and with no CEC draws, I had to change my status to visitor to remain in Canada. 4 months waiting and counting T_T
Good news for you, they’re opening up the CEC program soon 🥰 and I think be eligible for an open work permit?? hopefully you get your ITA soon 🤩🙏
Thanks for the information Rachel, am planning to study next year. Your tips are very helpful!
Thank you for watching dear!
Have you also considered lmia except occupation such as home child support worker? Could this give you a work permit without the need for LMIA perhaps?
I believe you would still need a job offer and work experience in NOC 4411 and 4412. Both of which I don’t have. Plus there have been many issues with that program as it is always open for review by the immigration minister.
I have a very quick question. Can one be eligible to apply for CEC program while being on Visitor status in Canada? Or does it have to be a FSWP program? Also, when my PGWP expires, do i gave to quit or can i just apply for leave of absence from my work? - where they keep my position open for me at a future date but do not pay me during the period of absence.
Beautiful! Your videos (with no effort at all) contains intelligent take-aways, eloquence and class! Cheers!
Phil Am! Thank you for such beautiful words.
This video meant a lot to me !! I'm in the same bucket and waiting for ITA. I appreciate the pep talk. Keep motivating! Thanks ^_^
Have u gotten ita
Hiii Rachel!! I have been following you for months now because I have about to take the risky 1 yr program and I have a quick question.
Some says that in order for one to be eligible for BOWP, one must simply pass the confimation stage for EE. And you can just submit that confimation letter of successful creation of EE profile?
Thanks again.
So in order to be eligible for BOWP, you must have already submitted a complete PR Application and have received the AOR (acknowledgement of receipt)
Creating an EE profile is different and that does not mean you have applied for PR.
