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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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.. 🙏🏼🕊😊💪🏼
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
🙏🙏🙏 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!
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!
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.
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!!!!
Thank you for inspiring us Ate Rachel! :) Just to share: I'm currently processing my educational documents before I apply to the schools I listed. I'm still quite in a dilemma whether or not I'll be pursuing a 1-year or 2-year program of studies in Canada, but I think I'll be choosing the 2-year route thanks to your advice and learning experience. Thank you and keep it up! :)
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?
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
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!
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.
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?
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?
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?
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?
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.
Hey, thanks for your videos it's insightful. I need one recommendation, whether to opt for a one-year specialisation course or two-year course if someone has completed Graduation and MBA both with a 6 years of work-ex.
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.
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.
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, 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. 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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
Hey rachel , me and my friend were discussing about you . Actually we have 3+ years of experience in Software Development and we are coming to canada for 1 year course and then work for 1 year . Considering the 2 years in canada and analyzing the crs scores are coming to be 517 . So do you think we will get pr surely or its not that great choice . Please Reply . We need your advice over this . Thanks in Advance !
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 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.
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.
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 ?
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. :)
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.
hi, my pgwp is expiring soon, in 6 months. i m also looking to apply as visitor, can you please tell me how much funds did you show in the application to process it? i shall be thankful to you.
To be eligible, you must: live in Canada (Quebec not included) have a valid work permit that expires in 4 months or less be the principal applicant on your permanent residence application have submitted a complete application for permanent residence and passed the completeness check have your acknowledgement of receipt letter we send this letter to your account after we get your permanent residence application. My Question: Do I need to have ITA in advance or can I be in the pool waiting for decision & still apply for BOWP ? Bcz website doesn't mention that I need to have ITA. It only talks about AoR. I can get AoR even if I don't have an ITA. Please advise.
You receive AOR after submitting your application , and you submit your application after receiving ITA here is the order : 1/ you Create your ee profile in the pool 2/ you wait for ita 3/ once the draw occurs and you have the crs score you receive ita 4/ once you receive ita you submit all your documents 5/ once you submit all your documents you receive aor
Hey Rachel, you cleared my doubt I am in the same situation and I have an idea of what to do next. I have a small request it would be great if you guide me on how to change my status from worker to visitor ? Thank you in advance
Hi Rachel, Your videos are so helpful. I am in a similar situation currently. Would you mind sharing what was your PR score range when you applied? It'd be really helpful for me to take an informed decision then. Thank you :)
Hi dear! I’m glad you’re able to take the necessary steps to prepare for everything given your circumstances. My CRS score was 450 when I applied. Right now, it’s a good time to be a CEC applicant bc scores aren’t competitive during covid and you had a decent shot to get invited to apply for PR. But I’d still aim for the highest score possible, hope this helps! 💕🤗 All the best to you!
right now I am on the same boat, my friend...My life is now full of frustration. I am Curious, why didn't you apply for PGWP to buy some time so that you can continue to work?
Hi, did you apply tourist visa stamping during the time you were already in canada on student visa basis ? Or did you go out of canada to apply tourist visa

Hi Rachel!
If I'm going to study a Master that lasts 16 months, will I be able to get my PGWP for 2 years or will be only for 1?
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.
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.

Can u make video on how to apply for visitor record?
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?
if i were you... ill study nursing iin the philippines. pass the board exam and take inclex then apply to canada.
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.

Thanks for sharing
Hey I'm gonna be in the same scenario. Because my 1 year experience ends just one day before my pgwp expires
Hi there! Any update on your status?
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.

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.
hi nice video, what software do you use for editing the video?
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.
What will be start date of pgwp - issue date or approval date?
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?
“Hold the vision, trust the process.” 🤘🏻
Woah, you provided me a quote in the comment section. Love that you took your time to leave me something here. Thank you.

Hey rachel , me and my friend were discussing about you . Actually we have 3+ years of experience in Software Development and we are coming to canada for 1 year course and then work for 1 year . Considering the 2 years in canada and analyzing the crs scores are coming to be 517 . So do you think we will get pr surely or its not that great choice . Please Reply . We need your advice over this . Thanks in Advance !
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.
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
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)
Yes I’m very fortunate and grateful for my timing and luck. Appreciate your two cents on this.
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.
@@vensakarakorwien5768 do you think it is a good idea to study let's say in Manitoba or go there when getting PGWP for possible PNP nomination ?
@@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.
so you didnt have work experience before going there? and its still possible to get pgwp and pr after?
Early here 😊
WOOHOO! Happy to have you here, thanks for being early to the show ☺️💕🥳
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?
Same situation of my wife so pls till me how many month takes for approved bridging open work permit
so how long were u on visitor status before getting invited to apply?
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. :)
hi , if you get another sem, meaning you can't apply for another pgwp?
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!

If ur work permit expired after Jan 2020 then you can apply for an open work permit as per the new policy of IRCC
You can if you meet all of the other eligibility requirements.
hi,
my pgwp is expiring soon, in 6 months. i m also looking to apply as visitor, can you please tell me how much funds did you show in the application to process it? i shall be thankful to you.
Hi po, can you feature filipinos that was not approved from pwgp to pr? At least we can learn something from it.
I extremely love your videos. It provides so much knowledge for us❤. As a beginner, can you tell me how can I find room in canada?
Absolutely! You can check craigslist.ca and find shared accommodation.
To be eligible, you must:
live in Canada (Quebec not included)
have a valid work permit that expires in 4 months or less
be the principal applicant on your permanent residence application
have submitted a complete application for permanent residence and passed the completeness check
have your acknowledgement of receipt letter
we send this letter to your account after we get your permanent residence application.
My Question: Do I need to have ITA in advance or can I be in the pool waiting for decision & still apply for BOWP ? Bcz website doesn't mention that I need to have ITA. It only talks about AoR. I can get AoR even if I don't have an ITA. Please advise.
You receive AOR after submitting your application , and you submit your application after receiving ITA
here is the order :
1/ you Create your ee profile in the pool
2/ you wait for ita
3/ once the draw occurs and you have the crs score you receive ita
4/ once you receive ita you submit all your documents
5/ once you submit all your documents you receive aor
Hey Rachel, you cleared my doubt I am in the same situation and I have an idea of what to do next. I have a small request it would be great if you guide me on how to change my status from worker to visitor ?
Thank you in advance
Same … my pgwp is expiring soon as well
Hi Rachel,
Your videos are so helpful. I am in a similar situation currently. Would you mind sharing what was your PR score range when you applied? It'd be really helpful for me to take an informed decision then. Thank you :)
Hi dear! I’m glad you’re able to take the necessary steps to prepare for everything given your circumstances. My CRS score was 450 when I applied. Right now, it’s a good time to be a CEC applicant bc scores aren’t competitive during covid and you had a decent shot to get invited to apply for PR. But I’d still aim for the highest score possible, hope this helps! 💕🤗 All the best to you!
