Jackie you were so brave sharing this experience, not so common on social media. I wish you all the best and hope you can get a new pathway to PR soon!!!
I'm sorry for what happened. I feel for you. I also worked in Canada in 2021 as an IT manager, scoring around 470. It was low due to my age. I knew I couldn't make it because I already saw the trend of the scores going up post-COVID, so I left and moved to a different country in 2022 where I'm already a permanent resident today. I realize it’s not easy, but we have to be prepared for whatever comes and keep moving forward with our lives.
It's sad to hear you are going through this. I hope it pulls through very soon. As you've rightly said, you could have explored the provincial nomination pathway. I came to Canada as a student in 2015. After accessing our options, I realized quickly I could only get the PR via provincial nomination. At that time, ON selected people from the pool with scores as low as 356, provided you studied in ON and have a job (either NOC 0, A, B or C), and I was working at a call center; my point was 428. That was how I got selected under the Human Captial Job offer program. I got my PNP within 6 weeks, increasing my CRS scores to over 990. I got my PR 11 months later and got my citizenship last year. I encourage you to weigh all your options and look at other provinces, but the province where you studied will still be your best bet. I can't wait to hear your testimony!
May God Almighty perfect all that concerns you. I have subscribed and will like as much as possible...remain positive and proactive... This is to everybody else..scores are very competitive and will remain so going forward. Expand your options as much as possible.
Just bumped to this videoand boom you got another subscriber, usife moyo mama things will fall in place ................ I think it's also due to political issues that's why all this is happening in Canada but I know once elections are done vitu itakuwa poa Mimi Niko Kenya na hopes kaa zote
I feel for you. I have experienced the same challenges in Belgium, It so painful. I pray that you find a loophole that will help you formalize your status in Canada. God bless you
I think I met you in a rideshare to Yorkdale from Windsor a couple of years ago. I lost your contact and for some reason, TH-cam suggested your channel to me. 😂 Good to see you here.
Girl wishing you the very best, fingers crossed for . We all have different stories,, some people think we all have same path.. This is yours and you’ll get that PR soon🎉❤
You are right that you focused on one immigration pathway. PNP (non-express entry), RINP (it has been made a permanent pathway but yet to open up for applications)
Jacquey, I don’t fault you at all. The same thing happened to me as well, till my PGWP got expired if not for God that came through, I would have been in my home country by now. However, I need you to hang in there all will come to fruition for you 🙏🏾
Hey I pray that all will be well eventually,currently I would suggest that now that most admissions are opening try getting yourself to a program then get a study permit as you buy time and see how it goes,but don’t allow yourself to go out of status whatsoever,you always go back home and regroup as long as you did not exceed your permit.
This world is crazy place, your facing this in Canada but I grew up in Kenya as refugee from Somalia, my younger siblibgs were born in Kenya in a refugee camp to a refugee parents, Kenya government issues refugee ID to all refugees, the IDs of refugees kids, specially my siblings who are born in Kenya always says the birth place of the refugee parent rather than the kid's actual birth place and there is dark reason behind this, which is a calculated decision by Kenya government to deny future citizenship to those refugee kids who were born to refugee parents but born in Kenya. Now I'm Canadian citizen I tried to sponsor my siblings but their documents are messed up and it's effecting their opportunity to be sponsored to Canada by me. I'm so sorry for what you're going through now in Canada, I know systems strains people everywhere.
Mami, I have this deep feeling that you are gonna be just fine. You have put yourself out here on/in these TH-cam streets and have done everything right. God will not give you challenges that you cannot overcome. One step at a time, trust in Him, do your best and everything will fall into place. I wish you the very best.
I moved to Canada in 2009 and just listening to the process you went through and the score just exhausts me😢.How did things get this complicated? I remember at the university, international students were even encouraged to apply for PR. There used to be lot's of services ready to help. Even at the public library there was someone stationed there to help with PR applications. I remember applying for mine in February and getting it October. Everything seemed to flow so smoothly. Those days we never had youtube videos like these. Infact i remember Canada was not even popular especially for people who wanted to move with families. It was more popular for students. People in my country prefered the US and UK because aparently Canada had harsh weather. But now!!!! My country mates are moving in numbers and struggling to get that PR.
The immigration system has been very volatile in the past 4 years or so. And, I think one of the biggest contributors to all these sky high CEC scores are international students. There are so many international students that now pretty much everyone has Canadian work experience and Canadian college diplomas, so that's no longer enough to stand out. Now you either need to have an in-demand job, speak French or qualify for a provincial nomination. I've been in Canada for 7 years and with my current profile (Canadian college educated, 25yo, 5 years of Canadian work experience, great English...) I wouldn't qualify to immigrate now, well, at least I wouldn't make the cut, I looked it up. I came here with a plan A, B, C and D and because of how much things changed, I ended up getting PR through different means (limited time new program, TR to PR). If you're a young person without a lot of work experience or prior education in your home country, it's SO hard to immigrate now. Even if you have an in-demand job, those are subject to change at any time for any reason so it's almost impossible to plan! I love Canada, but hell, it's very hard to stay here now. My heart goes to people who've been here for years and won't get to stay even if they want to. This is seriously effed up.
The fact is due to so many people from India, Africa and the Philippines came here the government is trying to balance out the population by not giving PR to the above countries even if their scores are high. They may give to certain individuals from the above countries but not like before.
Getting B1 in French allows you to get work permit extension through francophone mobility program, if you have a job/ will have a job. Another option if you’re running out of time is work permit extension (which will get rejected eventually) for implied status so you can continue working for 2-5 more months. (You could study French too for B1 in that meantime)
I hear you, so sad for all of us :( Here 6, 7 years without having PR, having MA degree, almost 2 year Canadian work experience, 3 years foreign work experience, secured permanent high skilled job, but have to leave if I cannot get PR soon, if you tell this situation to any politician in another country, they would be shocked at how broken the Canadian immigration system is.
In 2021 Canada was still in Covid and had workers shortages, that resulted in the policies of extending work permits and 40 hrs of work allowed for students.The situation has changed with some provinces experiencing up to 10% unemployment so I know it seems unfair to many but this is the economics . I give you that Canada seems to make big policy changes suddenly and without much of a warning.
@@Karola-p7f yeahs that is true that’s why they brought in so many people and now we have lots of immigrants in the country. And as you said the world is not fair. We just have to push through.
Thanks for the updated video, do not give up just yet, I think you still can get the PR. When is the next draw or will you explore the other alternative paths to permanent residency and how are you managing your living expenses in the meantime? I am not sure of the options here in Alberta but it maybe worth exploring them if the next draw doesn't work out.
Never sleep on the Canadian government. Came in 2020 on a work permit, in 2023, I received my PR. I moved to Alberta. Alberta is definitely a go to province for PR.
Hi Jackie, i think you are a wonderful person, i still feel a way will favor you and you will remain in Canada. Im on my way with 3 WP with family and your video was God send. Can we connect? i need people like you in my league?
CRS points alone are rarely enough, most people will get PNP by the province which gets you 500 points and guarantees an ITA for PR. Please consider PNP in other provinces especially where you qualifications are in demand.
hello jacky this is jackie thanks for sharing your experiences in Canada. Hope to see you someday. I am also assssspirant in Canada or outside Canada and that is USA United States of America
Don’t worry keep working on yourself. There will be opportunities coming up even if you go back to your country. Just keep looking at points and may be you can apply from home country but don’t sit on it but apply right away when opportunity comes.
It's a shame that so many people got caught up in this immigration situation, however that is how immigration is all over the world nowadays. People don't want to hear this, but governments make decisions about what they think is best for their country and can change their minds at any time. For too long the narrative was out there that immigrating to Canada was easy and once you have arrived in Canada Permanant residence is automatic. It reached the point that many international students thought PR was an entitlement. There are other countries that are out there that can give a good quality of life as well. People need to have an open mind.
That is pretty bad. I feel bad for you. It is not your fault. There is a protest going on to support the foreign workers and have a fair pathway to PR. I encourage everyone to join the protest. It's in Brampton on 295, Queen Street East. Show the support. More people from different backgrounds is better. I wish you all the best!

I was one of those saying your story didnt add up. After listening to the story of the CRS scores, Canadian immigration messed you up. This is one of those really dumb things Canadian immigration does. This is so unjust from Canadian immigration because I know how difficult it is to even have 480 score
@@chidace2812 yeahs it’s crazy and today they did another draw and invited only 500 people under CEC. The score went up again to 539. Im currently exploring other options
@@jaki_Inspireplease explore other options together with me. At this point in time in my life, I am exhausted of trying to qualify for PR. Canada has drained the living out of me and I can say I have given it my all.
Dont think anout BC if you are coming to school in a college. They are scrapping thst pathway in January 2025. I'm currently here and have secured a second program in NBCC!
Lots of people are in your situation, Like 2.5 million people who face what you are facing plus 500 thousand undocumented immigrants. So its not you Its just a perfect storm that you walked into.
I came to Canada in 2020 got my pr in 2023 left canada moved to Australia. From makeing 17-18$ hr I am making 43-47 $ on weekends my pay is 60$ . I pay more weekly tax than what I made as pr in Canada. So forget about it it's not worth. I make 4 k in a week now
Are you allowed to apply for another study visa? it’s expensive venture but would it be an option & granted study permit ? This way you would renew your status 🤔
@@Martha.2008 mmh someone else has told me this. I will do research and see which course I can take, plus something that is economically beneficial for me coz I barely have so much saved up.
Hi dear!! I am one of your subscribers. Recently i have been enrolled as international graduate student for 1 years madters program at Crandall University in Mincton, New Brunswick Canada and accordingly granted with study permit and necessary student visa and will be landed to canada soon. Now i want to apply visa for my spouse and only child as my dependent and we know my spouse will get Open Woek Permit and my child will get free study till his age upto 18 year. Now my question is in the ircc portal online under which visa category should i select to start both of their application as spouse and child of an international graduate student in canada? Your genuine opinion and suggestions will be highly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much.
Hie, I would advise you to read the current changes on the government website. Your spouse will only qualify for an open work permit it you are studying a master’s program of 16 months and above or a PHD. This new rule is effective 1 November 2024.
They can however come under visitors visa but in August the IRCC announced that Visitors will no longer change their visitor permit into a work permit anymore. So it is messed up right now
What will you advise for current graduate and how to navigate in order to avoid similar fate. Also, pls which insurance company did you work that fail to help out. Which is the best pathway... Kindly, try to get VV to enable you stay
@@emmyharry8520 right now it’s best to look at all options. They have been doing provincial nominations a lot. So that’s the best option right now. People are opting to do psw, nursing, agriculture, French cos there are pathways for that. The company refused to sponsor me because they have to prove to the government that they haven’t found any Canadian to take my job which is hard coz they can easily get someone else. So most companies would refuse to do that application. So someone advised me to apply for Visitor record which now I have. I don’t know if it will be approved coz I applied when I’m already out of status . Will wait and see
@jackie_wafula Did you apply to restore your status before applying for the visitor's record? All in all, have faith. Five more draws left, and there's one with a slot for you. Also, select all provinces for PNP consideration in your EE profile. Good luck.
@jackie_wafula whatever the case, just have faith. You will get approved for that visitors record. God never brought you this far to leave you. I know it's a scary period for you at the moment, but have faith. Your testimony awaits. In case you need to chat, feel free to reach out. I'm in St John's NL.
I want to ask a questions. So with your 3years work experience, is it that you dont qualify for the general draw. Does it have to be only CEC you can apply for? Because the general draw went down to 481 as at last year
@@ibukunolajide2487 it’s the month that matters. I had to wait until September 5 to get 495 because that is when I hit 2 years working. So even when they did the draw in June calling for 486 I still had 471 at that time coz I had not completed 2 years working. Thats how I kept missing out.
@jackie_wafula You do nor need an immigration consultant for that mummy. Same way you apply for a visitor record is the same way you apply to restore your status within 90 days from when your last visa expired.
@@maryopondo6022 I have played around with the system and it only allows me to restore status if I say I got invited to apply for PR. So I only proceeded to apply for visitor record.
@@jaki_Inspire if you started working Sept 5,your points should have updated in August as 12 months of working.. I was able to meet the cec for this year because my points updated to one year of working in June even though I started working July 4th
Where did you study? Pnp applications give you extra 600 points in the express entry system, because you had a job offer and experience. You need to add the two to get an invitation from the province you’re in. But thank you for this video, some people can really be insensitive.
It’s so dumb how they make it harder for people with Canadian experience but mate it easy for people abroad then they wonder why culture is changing. People like you would have contributed to the work force but I guess Canada likes those that want welfare
@@chidace2812 yes this is so true. Like the way they bring in refugees and give them PR so easily, and ignore people that are actually contributing to the economy
@@jaki_Inspire exactly. It took me 10 years to go from Student Visa to PR, during the time I was seeing a lot of people come straight into Canada with PR and have not contributed the system as much as I have. Your story is very similar to mine, I had to work 2-3 jobs to survive in school. I also lived in Windsor. Wyandotte Street for Life 😄
12:32 - On the screenshot for August 27, 2024 (Canadian Experience Class), the score was 507 & you also have 507 on your CRS score, so how come you did not meet up?????????
Subject: Query Regarding Visa Application Category for Spouse and Child Helloo Dear, I am writing to seek clarification on the appropriate visa application category for my spouse and child. I have recently been enrolled in a Master’s program at Crandall University in New Brunswick, Canada, for the January 2025 intake, and I have already been granted the necessary study permit and visa. As per my understanding, the spouse of an international graduate student typically qualifies for an open work permit, allowing them to work full-time, and children under the age of 18 are eligible for free education in Canada. Could you please confirm which visa category I should select when applying for my spouse and child through the IRCC online portal? I would appreciate guidance on the following: 1. The appropriate category for my spouse to apply for an open work permit. 2. The appropriate category for my child to accompany me and attend school in Canada. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support. Sincerely, Md. Khorshed Anwar
The worst part is that the Canadian federal government is blind and deaf to this situation : training international students for years and denying them PR or any legal immigration status in Canada. Then going abroad to advertise Canada to new potential international students… What a paradox! Be strong, sis 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi Jackie. I'm a Nigerian and I just landed a few months ago in ontario as a permanent resident. Looking to make new friends. Can I get to meet you? Hope to hear back from you. Thank you 😊

@@MrDarkchipmunk wooow buying LMIA is crazy. Is that even legal btw ?
@jackie_wafula it's illegal
@@jaki_Inspireit’s illegal but it is happening. It’s really sad
Before December you shall get invited to apply... 507 is so close.
@@cjeygitau6505 I have been praying and hoping that I get it asap eh. Its not fun being in this situation
And some people came in january 2023 and alteady have pr by mach 2024! Canada will hble you all the best
When you go into the pool ? Because I know persons got invited in 2023 with 484.
How are points calculated
Thank you for the information, I studied in Ontario now have 3 year work permit , and no work experience back home, do I need to move to Manitoba for pnp , or stay in Ontario by doing noc b job in Walmart while learning French , but I don’t know whether I can get noc b job in Manitoba , I think a teer 3 or 4 job I can get in Manitoba , can you suggest me a way for pr , Manitoba or Ontario or any other province, please I will be waiting for your response
Ontario has a program for students that studied in the province, pls look into it
its only applicable to students that took masters degree. I did undergrad
I hope you will be getting PR soon
I was one of those saying your story didnt add up. After listening to the story of the CRS scores, Canadian immigration messed you up. This is one of those really dumb things Canadian immigration does. This is so unjust from Canadian immigration because I know how difficult it is to even have 480 score
@@chidace2812 yeahs it’s crazy and today they did another draw and invited only 500 people under CEC. The score went up again to 539. Im currently exploring other options
@@jaki_Inspireplease explore other options together with me. At this point in time in my life, I am exhausted of trying to qualify for PR. Canada has drained the living out of me and I can say I have given it my all.
Ooh you should have looked at provincial nominations
Dont think anout BC if you are coming to school in a college. They are scrapping thst pathway in January 2025. I'm currently here and have secured a second program in NBCC!
@@cynthiaokoro5433 great advice, thank you Cynthia
Lots of people are in your situation, Like 2.5 million people who face what you are facing plus 500 thousand undocumented immigrants. So its not you Its just a perfect storm that you walked into.
If you’re in Ontario try OINP.
Don't give up ,I fought for 6 years in the UK and I'm ok now
@@marykaguma3512 wow wow thank you for your encouragement ☺️
I came to Canada in 2020 got my pr in 2023 left canada moved to Australia. From makeing 17-18$ hr I am making 43-47 $ on weekends my pay is 60$ . I pay more weekly tax than what I made as pr in Canada. So forget about it it's not worth. I make 4 k in a week now
Oh woooow! Thats impressive
Which province are you ?
Are you allowed to apply for another study visa? it’s expensive venture but would it be an option & granted study permit ?
This way you would renew your status 🤔
@@Martha.2008 mmh someone else has told me this. I will do research and see which course I can take, plus something that is economically beneficial for me coz I barely have so much saved up.
@@jaki_Inspire I know its tough. I have put your situation in my prayer list. I'm also in Ontario. Thank you for the videos, very encouraging.
@@jaki_Inspiregirl please it should be a stem program or those listed in the new categories.
Hey Jackie Did you get an ITA from the last CEC draw.
Can I have your contact I need informations about windsor
Hi dear!! I am one of your subscribers. Recently i have been enrolled as international graduate student for 1 years madters program at Crandall University in Mincton, New Brunswick Canada and accordingly granted with study permit and necessary student visa and will be landed to canada soon. Now i want to apply visa for my spouse and only child as my dependent and we know my spouse will get Open Woek Permit and my child will get free study till his age upto 18 year. Now my question is in the ircc portal online under which visa category should i select to start both of their application as spouse and child of an international graduate student in canada? Your genuine opinion and suggestions will be highly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much.
Hie, I would advise you to read the current changes on the government website. Your spouse will only qualify for an open work permit it you are studying a master’s program of 16 months and above or a PHD. This new rule is effective 1 November 2024.
They can however come under visitors visa but in August the IRCC announced that Visitors will no longer change their visitor permit into a work permit anymore. So it is messed up right now
What will you advise for current graduate and how to navigate in order to avoid similar fate.
Also, pls which insurance company did you work that fail to help out.
Which is the best pathway...
Kindly, try to get VV to enable you stay
@@emmyharry8520 right now it’s best to look at all options. They have been doing provincial nominations a lot. So that’s the best option right now.
People are opting to do psw, nursing, agriculture, French cos there are pathways for that.
The company refused to sponsor me because they have to prove to the government that they haven’t found any Canadian to take my job which is hard coz they can easily get someone else. So most companies would refuse to do that application.
So someone advised me to apply for Visitor record which now I have. I don’t know if it will be approved coz I applied when I’m already out of status . Will wait and see
@jackie_wafula Did you apply to restore your status before applying for the visitor's record? All in all, have faith. Five more draws left, and there's one with a slot for you. Also, select all provinces for PNP consideration in your EE profile. Good luck.
@@maryopondo6022 no I couldn’t restore status. It just let me apply for visitor record. I can only restore status when I get invited to apply for PR
@jackie_wafula whatever the case, just have faith. You will get approved for that visitors record. God never brought you this far to leave you. I know it's a scary period for you at the moment, but have faith. Your testimony awaits. In case you need to chat, feel free to reach out. I'm in St John's NL.
Look into PNP programmes Alberta(Tafuta job) and Saskatchewan PNP. Consider learning french the points are low.
I want to ask a questions. So with your 3years work experience, is it that you dont qualify for the general draw. Does it have to be only CEC you can apply for? Because the general draw went down to 481 as at last year
@@ibukunolajide2487 it’s the month that matters. I had to wait until September 5 to get 495 because that is when I hit 2 years working. So even when they did the draw in June calling for 486 I still had 471 at that time coz I had not completed 2 years working. Thats how I kept missing out.
And it doesn’t have to be CEC only. If I had moved to a different province and do provincial nomination that would have saved my ass.
But it came down to 507, how didn't you get invited?
There is no work so what is the point of extending the work permit? Locals are not getting jobs due to so many people Liberal allowed here.
It's not late to try the express entry .not cec or pnp just express entry and you will get a chance to be invited by a province
@@MarielleNathalie mmh I will have to consult an immigration consultant for that since I’m already out of status. Thank you for this great advice
@jackie_wafula You do nor need an immigration consultant for that mummy. Same way you apply for a visitor record is the same way you apply to restore your status within 90 days from when your last visa expired.
@@maryopondo6022 I have played around with the system and it only allows me to restore status if I say I got invited to apply for PR. So I only proceeded to apply for visitor record.
@@jaki_Inspire then you're not an illegal immigrant😃😃😃.
When did you qualify for 507. There was a 507 call in August 2024
@@RuschellePowell September 5 is when I got 507. Sad
Ohhhh darn, I wish you all the best before the year ends. Also, check out the pnps in Ontario.
@@RuschellePowell unfortunately Ontario doesn’t do PNPs so I will have to look at a different province
Check out the options for OINP
@@jaki_Inspire if you started working Sept 5,your points should have updated in August as 12 months of working.. I was able to meet the cec for this year because my points updated to one year of working in June even though I started working July 4th
Where did you study? Pnp applications give you extra 600 points in the express entry system, because you had a job offer and experience. You need to add the two to get an invitation from the province you’re in. But thank you for this video, some people can really be insensitive.
Did you try PNP ?
It’s so dumb how they make it harder for people with Canadian experience but mate it easy for people abroad then they wonder why culture is changing. People like you would have contributed to the work force but I guess Canada likes those that want welfare
@@chidace2812 yes this is so true. Like the way they bring in refugees and give them PR so easily, and ignore people that are actually contributing to the economy
@@jaki_Inspire exactly. It took me 10 years to go from Student Visa to PR, during the time I was seeing a lot of people come straight into Canada with PR and have not contributed the system as much as I have. Your story is very similar to mine, I had to work 2-3 jobs to survive in school. I also lived in Windsor. Wyandotte Street for Life 😄
@@chidace2812 woooow more people need to hear this. It’s not easy at all.
Sis. Join NSPPD prayer platform. God will come true for you. All will be well
Depending on where you live, you can apply for PNP.
It's not a guarantee that you'll get pr even after working
You should learn French can you try to learn it and write the exam to increase your score
12:32 - On the screenshot for August 27, 2024 (Canadian Experience Class), the score was 507 & you also have 507 on your CRS score, so how come you did not meet up?????????
@@tosinmathew5168 because I finish my 3 rd year working in September 5. So I got my 507 in September 5 not August
If I had my 507 in august then I would qualify
@@jaki_Inspire Oh i get you now, that means in few months you'd surely qualify.

Subject: Query Regarding Visa Application Category for Spouse and Child
Helloo Dear,
I am writing to seek clarification on the appropriate visa application category for my spouse and child.
I have recently been enrolled in a Master’s program at Crandall University in New Brunswick, Canada, for the January 2025 intake, and I have already been granted the necessary study permit and visa. As per my understanding, the spouse of an international graduate student typically qualifies for an open work permit, allowing them to work full-time, and children under the age of 18 are eligible for free education in Canada.
Could you please confirm which visa category I should select when applying for my spouse and child through the IRCC online portal? I would appreciate guidance on the following:
1. The appropriate category for my spouse to apply for an open work permit.
2. The appropriate category for my child to accompany me and attend school in Canada.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and support.
Sincerely,
Md. Khorshed Anwar
The worst part is that the Canadian federal government is blind and deaf to this situation : training international students for years and denying them PR or any legal immigration status in Canada. Then going abroad to advertise Canada to new potential international students… What a paradox!
Be strong, sis 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is so heartbreaking to hear. Unfortunately me and my spouse are a victim to this
It feels like they used us to generate taxes for them then after warning us out they false advertise out their to get new blood. It’s a terrible cycle
But you don’t answered how you got PR?
Learn French , this will help you very much
@@sandeshpokhrel9231 I’m working on it
Did you try provincial nomination?
Hi Jackie. I'm a Nigerian and I just landed a few months ago in ontario as a permanent resident. Looking to make new friends. Can I get to meet you? Hope to hear back from you. Thank you 😊
I heard there is also a Nigerian community in Ontario. Try to Google the Nigerian community on Facebook or Instagram. I'm not Nigerian, but I have a Nigerian friend who told me so.
Typical Nigerian who have no shame. Embarrassing yourself publicly. You think shes desperate for a friend so as to get PR? Better take the advice above or use Google.🥴
Very pathetic story my dear. I pray hard for God to grant you your PR.
please go and take french class and write the exam
very unfortunate scenario.
500+ no hope
