About PGDs and PR, my point is that a masters graduate in Ontario that doesn't get a PROFESSIONAL job after graduation can get PR thru the PNP program. This is not possible for PGD graduates. Also, the point based system for PR thru EE as someone earlier pointed out favours Masters and PhD graduates more than PGD. I have a very close friend that did 3 years College program and has been working since the last 2-3years on a professional job, his PGWP is expiring soon and his point on the pool is not up to the minimum. He was faced with only 2 options... 1)Leaving Canada 2)Going back to school .
He had to choose going back to school to remain legally in Canada and will pay another 1 year tuition fees.

I don't knw anytin about new Brunswick college, I'm heading to another college, u could check their website for more info nd contact their admission office for info too.

[b] Hello sir, good questions!!
I don't know all the answers to these questions but I'll answer the ones I know to the best of my knowledge and I'm open to corrections as well.

PNP is Provincial Nominee Program in which. each province nominates qualified candidates to apply for Permanent Residency.

How hard to apply for PR after doing PGD? I honestly don't know; what I know for sure is that some provinces are relatively easier to get PR than others. Make your research for those provinces and relocate there once you finish your PGD.

Accepted for coop and end up getting good job? Like thesoj said, IT related fields are easier to get a PR. Besides that, I don't have any idea.

Does PGD /PGC really have its part in not making someone get PR later on easily or its tired to getting and sustaining a job? Can you rephrase this question please, thank you.

For people who leave school to hustle for a year, does it affect them or their PGWP if it's masters they're putting in for? If you wanna leave school to hustle, it's best advisable to leave during winter so you can work all thru the summer and resume by fall. Anything beyond that can end up putting you in a tight corner (no personal experience though).

How do you get to do express entry after your studies? If you have work experience already, you can apply for that. Otherwise, you'll work for sometime before being eligible to apply.

How easy is it to combine schooling and working? Not an easy one but with the present condition of Naija, it's very necessary for survival. I prefer schooling and business though rather than working.

I hope this helps.

[/b]

Does PGD /PGC really have its part in not making someone get PR later on easily or its TIED to getting and sustaining a job?
That's what I meant to ask

Thanks for the comprehensive response. I highly appreciate bro. You really answered well


I guess the best thing is to have enough funds or to do some small small businesses if possible so as to stay Afloat and not exceed the 20 hr work week

For the business part, which do you advise asides the usual car importation to naija or exportation as the case may be?

I love business

U mean iggy that i just spoke too...

Well today's Sunday. So I'll allow you to talk to her.

yemdogg:


Pnp is called provincial nominee program. It's a program put in place by each provinces in Canada to invite foreigners to come and settle in their province or to encourage and assist international students to remain and settle in their province after completion of their programs.

Indeed it is hard for a international student who studied or did a PGD program to get PR especially if your program is one year or less; except if such international students can use PNP route or if such international students has already bagged a masters degree or PhD or such international student get up to 3 yrs pgwp after his/her program so he or she can gain Canadian work experience that would give him comprehensive ranking system points in the express entry.

So if you're a PGD student in Canada, your best route for PR is pnp. Most PNP already set the guidelines for applying for their nomination program. For instance, the province of Ontario's PNP for international students stream only requires;

To be eligible to apply, an International Student must have a job offer that meets the following criteria: be an approved;

1 permanent, full-time job offer in a high-skilled occupation (NOC 0, A or B),

2 and meets the entry-level wage levels in Ontario for that occupation.

3 The international Student must also: have graduated from or have met the requirements of a full-time degree or diploma program at an eligible publicly-funded Canadian college or university

4 that is at least two (2) years in length or a one year post-graduate certificate program, which requires a previous degree in order to qualify, have completed at least half of their studies in Canada, and apply within two years from the date on which they graduated.

They also have PNP dedicated only for masters and PhD students.

However, due to the fact that there are so many institutions in Ontario, there are so many international students in the province and as such their PNP is quite competitive. As a matter of fact 48% of the international students in Canada are studying in Ontario. So you get the picture.

So if you're looking to get PNP after your studies you should consider studying or living in other provinces.
Even if you study in Ontario, if you have up to three years pgwp you can relocate to other provinces. For example in Manitoba if you studied in Canada but outside Manitoba, if you work with a Manitoba employer for a year, you are eligible to apply for Manitoba pnp. If however you studied in Manitoba, you only need to work with a Manitoba employer for up to 6 months then you're eligible for pgwp. So my advice is for you to study the requirements and the availability of pnp of the province you intend to study before making any serious commitment to study in the province.

Getting a good job especially if you can get a labour market impact assessment of your job; is a secret to getting PR in Canada.

And to answer your last question, it is not advisable to exceed the 20hrs/week given to you by CIC. Some do it and they get lucky, buh if you're caught it may jeopardise your chances of PR in the future.

Wow people like you are one of the reasons why I love this thread. Very educative and Informative

I noticed that a lot of people didn't ask these questions and they're very vital to What's going to make or Mar you if you get to Canada
I'll be sure to get a 2 year course as against 1 year on Durham, already saw one in Lambton and I hope it turns out well when it's time to apply

Thanks very much for your input and may God's favor locate you and Onyeoma.
I appreciate

Boss information is power.

I am quite impressed when you asked this question. Most people just talk about getting trv/study permit. They never want to know what options are available to them upon getting to Canada.

Most people end up going for another program after completing their one year program so they can be eligible for a 3yrs work permit.

If PR is your ultimate goal it's better you apply for a minimum of two years program and get a study permit for two years rather than having to extend your study permit in Canada.

Studying for up to two years in Canada can attract three years work permit which will make your transition to PR quite smooth and easy. If you can also look for provinces with easy pnp it will further assist your transition.

it is not all about getting 2yrs program,but dont' go and opt for a lower program level below ur Bsc/BEng just to meet up for the above stated criterion.pick good meaningful programs related to your background that have employable prospects and lucrativeness both home and abroad.

Can I PM you bro? Wanna ask you 2questions about international passport

@michV

Hmmmm.....MICHV i no dey like to join issue with you cos you're smarter than me what do i know; am just a bloody lawyer.

buh in any event i am tempted to join issue with you on this one.

Michv, the truth is it's not always as easy as people think it is combining studies and working together in Canada especially during regular school session.

Not everyone is as brilliant and smart as you . We dont have the same level of assimilation. Some people cannot multi-task as smoothly as you do, so if such person tries or attempt the stunts you would pull, such person will crash like "DELTA AIRLINE COMPUTER SYSTEM" A lot of people have come back to this thread stating how difficult it is to combine work and study in Canada. In as much as there are lots of people that would easily combine the two together without over-heating, it shouldn't be encouraged. I say this because if we start encouraging people to work or exceed the normal working hours allowed by cic, people will not make adequate financial preparations to travel, study and live comfortably in canada and when they get there they will start facing serious financial challenges they could have easily prepared for before leaving Nigeria.

Your friend that bought Camry 2012 is not here to share how he did it, your claims are basically called hearsay-evidence in law and it is simply inadmissible.

My point is if you feel you can work extremely hard and study hard in canada, be my guest buh do not encourage others to exceed the 20hrs/week work permit that accompanies study permit. There's a thread dedicated to students in canada and how they're fairing, go to that thread and you would see what am talking about.

Let us encourage people to do the basics as stipulated by cic, when they get to Canada they will adjust and adapt by themselves. if they feel they can take extra shift during the regular school session, then that's their problem. I have not been to canny before, i dont know what is obtainable there buh it is better we prepare ourselves rather than think we can work and pay tuition fees, let alone buy camry 2012 during session.

Let's not forget the implication of exceeding the 20hrs/week work permit. especially for people that have pr as their ultimate goal.

dont also forget having good grades, what will it profit a student that did some extra jobs and finished with a bad grade? especially if you intend to stay in canada, where merit/excellence actually means a lot to employers.

be properly guided !

michV, do realize that CIC Lagos likely knows about the existence of this thread, and posts that commend/encourage immigration violations in Canada may justify being harsher on current and future Nigerian applicants.

I fully agree with yemdogg's post above.

michV:
my nigga!@yemmdogg.I dropped a punch line on my above post.''To me what matters most is if you can balance your studies with your work cos some individuals perform poorly when engaged with other activities away from study ''.you can see i considered such point you are trying to prove beneath my post because i know people like you would smartly pick out a point to throw
