If anyone reads this message The University of Victoria has a diploma in business administration that has a duration of 2 years and the cost is only 15.000 CAD per entire diploma and it provides the PGWP of 3 years ... I'm going to start to study in May of this year ...
The most honest and realistic review... Thank you so much... This is exactly why I am waiting for the college that has 2 year course to respond inspite of getting a one year course acceptance from another college
Its like sitting at the edge of your seat during an intense sporting event. Now, imagine that game as you playing for your future. LOL. Thanks for watching.
Can I just say your video was by far the most helpful and realistic one I've come across here. Super grateful for you, Rachel taking the time and effort to explain and explore everything. I am applying for a 2 year post secondary program this September (even though I've completed my Bachelor's degree) and was in a dilemma about having to take steps backward. Your video has helped calm by anxiety on this matter. Thank you so very much! God bless x
Yes its enough if you're coming with work experience from your home country. I did it. Do 1 year study, work 1 year, apply under Canadian experienced class stream (CEC). Get PR in less than 6 months. If you don't have work experience go for 2 years course or 2 x 1 years courses.
Not one of the. But THE ONLY WHOLESOME VIDEO on UA-cam explaining each bit about 1year program and its benefits and repercussions. I am feeling so full of right information - with no doubts. This video goes into every nook and corner and clears all the doubts! Rachel, loooove it!
Thank you for speaking so clearly and knowledged about this topic. So many times when I've asked about this, I get brushed off, when all I need is an example or personal story. Now I see exactly how things can play out, and it's clearer; and things continue to evolve, so no-one can tell the future about this process anyway. Being able to estimate future CRS score is a great help, even with so many what-ifs; at least you'll know what you're working towards. This is exactly what I was looking for. Continued blessings! I hope to get across this river real soon 🙏🏽💕
I like how you speak and explained the concepts, as well as your experience. This is really insightful! I am planning to take 1 year but now considering to take 2 years. :)
Thank you for your time dear! 🥰😋 I’m glad you reconsidered, there’s also the 1+1 option if 2 year is a huge commitment but I’ll dabble on that later on 😋
I have been binge watching all your videos. I just recieved my letter of acceptance to University of Toronto for a master's degree , I had to choose a full time degree of 1 year because of how expensive the tuition is. Thank you for sharing your experience, it is very helpful !!

With all words in all languages, I thank you for this video, Rachel, you have no idea how much you helped me with this video. I wish you all happiness in your life.
Keep inspiring! I admire your resilience. I watch them often but it wasnt until I saw this video that really pushed me to subscribe to you. I hope you continue to make informative details to apply. :)

hi if i aim for saskatchwan province, do i need to have work experience and a 1 year diploma in saskastchwan province only?(This is what SINP link states)
Thanks a lot for this video, it is really helpful! I have been in the EE pool since Feb but as there have been no FSW draws, I am contemplating a course for next year. This is a very helpful video
Thanks for sharing your experience but I have to disagree with you. Yes a 1 year certificate might be risky for applying trough Express Entry but people tend to forget there are provincial nominations. For example in British Columbia you don’t have to wait for the full year to gain the experience required for express entry… if you for example studied a 1 year program on a DLI, get a PGWP and find a full time job offer in NOC 0, A or B you can apply to PR trough your province. There’s a downside (if you consider it a downside) which is that you are “tied” to the province you got nominated from, in this case BC, therefore you are obligated to live in that province. It’s the same in Ontario but there’s a little bit more requirements and it differs from province to province. In Quebec depends on if you’re doing a graduate certificate, post graduate certificate or masters degree.. you know each province has its own rules. What I recommend is for people to do a proper research of how the provincial nomination works in each province because in most cases you’re not only saving time but money!!! Also if you can afford an ICCRC consultant, do it.. it’ll make things easier. I love your videos, thanks for all the advices and experiences you’ve shared so far.
Thank you for the detailed comment. I actually tried for the BC PNP. The only problem is the job offer. I worked for a big employer and the were unwilling to give me that job offer so I had to rely on EE.
It was lovely to hear your honest experience. A lot of people on youtube make immigration sound like an overnight thing and that is not always the case! especially with COVID making things that much harder.
I get the sense that must UA-camrs try to do the click bait thing. I am not a fan of that approach. I rather give it to you straight. I appreciate that you noticed my approach. Thank you for watching.
Kung paranoid ka mag study ka… pero kung 10 years ka na nagwowork at professional ka naman , at malakas ang faith mo…makakapasa ka naman. 25 years old no canadian experience pero nakarating ng Canada alone. No studies needed…Faith lang and money , lots of money.
We are certainly glad to have you here in Canada. I did notice a difference in your accent in this video compared to your other video a few weeks ago about getting your PR. Curious as during that other video I could not tell from your English speaking where you grew up. But in this video it was far more noticeable, your accent I mean. Again, Canada is happy to have you here and clearly the system works for those that are applying. Wonder how much the COVID situation affected the score as you mentioned it was higher previously and dropped below your score at a later date.
You are the best i watched regarding intertional education to permanent residency. Very helpful. Thank you. To follow you on your nxt video. Very informative .
rrdancel im from northeastern Vietnam, Hai Phong city. Have u been? May I ask how many time a visitor visa can be extended? And do u need an explanation letter for each time?
Hello Rachel!!! Thank you for sharing your experience and helping future international students. I am enrolled for September 2021 intake. I will be taking 1yr program only and also thinking of the risk, however I came across this video about Bridging Open Working Permit. And I think I will be a good option for students who took 1 yr program only and can have a one year extension while waiting for PR results. I hope you can discuss further about this option on your vlog as this can be very helpful. Thank you and congrats on your PR!
BOWP have certain eligibility requirements. In short, I was not eligible and had to go from PGWP to visitor status. I am thinking about doing a video on this topic in the future!
Absolutely amazing vid, thank you for your helpful tips and guideline, especially your reality experience. I'm going to beginning my journey to PR with my first step is studying MSc in Canada, so this vid is extremely informative for me to set up my plan in the future. Wish you you the best!
I think you're so lovely! I'm super happy I found your vlogs!! I'm currently looking at Canada for my post grad so hopefully things go well and I'll be on my way....Happy you got your PR :D
Thank you for your support and love! Thank you for stumbling across my channel, hope more of my content will be helpful in your journey to Canada! I wish you all the best 😊💕
My biggest concer is that when you go to Canads to migrate all that work experience and education in your country is back to zero. So its like jusy going to Canada as a highschool graduate with very little chance to get a job based on my work experience and education.
Can you tell me more about your case (not enough CRS score, not working in NOC Teer 1,2,3 ...) ? I am planning to go to Canada for study as an international student at 31 years old (3D Artist), do you think i should take a risk ?
But in Saskatchewan province 6 month Canadian experience is enough to apply PR. So we can apply once completed 6 month work experience in PGWP. At the same time we have 6 month more on hand to Wait for PR.
Wow is that true? In noc b???so i Can study a 1 year program work for 6 month nd apply for m'y PR? Is this in the entry express or the province programme ?
@@hosnisahali6851 province program, you should work only for Saskatchewan.Canadian class need 1 year experience. But 6 month only you can apply for Saskatchewan.
Thank you so much for this video! And so happy it worked for you! I found your channel because I typed "how to immigrate to Canada". I am feeling lost, I was thinking about doing a 1 year study to get more points for EE under the Federal skilled worker program. However I have well paid job here in Germany and am really scared of not finding a job. It´s a risk. And I can´t take a decision. Glad to see that you are in Vancouver :)
you are a sweetheart for uploading such a video, an eye opener!! It's such a dilemma for middle class parents like us :( Can i please please ask you a question. My son who holds an Italian passport would like to do a 3 year degree program in Canada.. Since it's so costly, I thought he could do a 2 year Diploma and apply for his PR so that he could register for the degree program and pay less tuition fee like the Canadians, but as you've mentioned it will take longer than 2 years to have the PR in hand? Whats the best thing to do? Hope you could answer me
Thank u for this content Ms Rachel, helps us alot in everything to consider. One of ur vids about working as an Intl student even, helped us decide to save further and pursue education by next year instead. And now this helped us decide and go for 2yr study. Hopefully we claim it next yr. Bless u
I learned so many things from your channel such as PR pathways, student life and cost of living. Which helped me to get a good understanding of the opportunities and risks of coming to Canada as a student. Especially you are not afraid to discuss challenges and difficulties students have to face in Canada, which I really appreciate. Also, you loving and adorable 😍 at the same time confident and independent 🤩, which are extremely rare qualities to find in a person. Thank you so much Rachel.
Woooahhhhhh. That was a boat load of compliments. I felt really nice reading your comment. It gives me hope to continue my mission by providing more correct info to those like yourself. Thank you for leaving me such a thoughtful and inspirational comment.
I should have but I think they updated the changes after I submitted my Express Entry profile. But it should’ve been 465 with the new points system. :)
I feel like the main problem with 1 year PGWP is that you may or not be able to get 1 year of Canadian work experience to qualify for Canadian Experience Class, since this depends on how quickly do you find a job and how long it takes for your PGWP to be approved etc, am I right? I checked out my potential CRS score and I am feeling pretty optimistic (knowing French helps ^^), my only concern is whether or not I'll be able to fulfil the 1 year experience requirement :(
One year work experience in canada make you eligible to apply for PR. Even no need of study visa. AIP also make you eligible for one year work permit and later on eligible for PR.
Yes but the challenge comes on getting a work permit, currently there are only two ways: open or closed work permit, Closed work permits are hard to come by bc of the need of having to find an employer to sponsor you to work here. Which is why some consider the study pathway bc of the added benefit of working in Canada after graduation. But if that hurdle is passed and all other eligibility requirements are met - then your point stands.
No no no.. you're in the right track. Why everyone focuses only on the Federal EE? Are you going to study in BC or AB? just look for BC PNP info, or AINP too. Lots of hopes when you're already in Canada!
Your story really inspired me! But i need to be financially stable first before emotionally ready as I don't have any family in Canada. Keep safe then!

I'm eligible for 1 yr Post Graduate Diploma (Credential: Ontario College Graduate Certificate). If I'll pursue 1 yr PGD(Post Graduate Diploma) so I will get 1 yr work permit correct? In this 1 yr work permit, I'll start working in my field company and after this 1 yr work permit gets expired, can I get extension of work permit as I'm working/having job? Is it possible for work permit extension?
@@guruworld3608 so I’ll be able to apply for PR under CEC after completion of 1 yr. As I’ve only year of work permit I’ve to leave canada when I’ll be applying right?
The information is not too bad but people should give correct information. If you study 1 year you will get a 1 year PGWP, you study 2 years you'll get a 2 year PGWP (not 3 years) max is 3 year PGWP. If you apply for PR under CEC in Express Entry you can be outside of Canada you don't need to be inside Canada. She could have gone back home and work and come back as soon as she received her PR. I am not sure why the government created CEC saying it does not require education when in reality you can only get enough CRS points when you have education. There was only one draw during Covid 19 time that allowed CEC with CRS points of 75 but this I think is an absolute exemption on Feb. 13, 2021 inviting over 27000 applicants. For me the CEC is primarily good for students who study in Canada and get a PGWP and work in a NOC O, A or B occupation which as per requirement.
Katy, I would like to clarify some of your statements: 1. As per IRCC policy: a 2 year program MAY lead to a 3 year PGWP. The word may is used to give the visa officer discretionary powers in making a decision on granting a 3 year PGWP. In most clear cases, the student that studies a 2 year program gets a 3 year PGWP. 2. Yes, you are right I could have come back home. However, I took into consideration some challenges during that particular time, which was during the height of COVID. There were travel restrictions, rules, regulations and bands. There were also challenges of gathering documents that are located within Canada which requires personal authorization. All these documents, took some time to gather after I received my ITA. So, I decided it was better to remain here and wait it out. That decision turned out to be the right one as I was able to gather all my documents needed to apply for PR and saved a lot of time and money. 3. CEC is mainly for anyone with IN CANADA work experience. So, education is not necessary. But, in Canada education leads to a PGWP. PGWP is a type of an open work permit. There are not many types of open work permits. So, with a PGWP, one can get in-Canada work experience. Aside from an open work permit, there is a closed work permit which is extremely hard to get. So, in theory your statement is correct. In practice, it is not necessarily true. 4. There were many draws during COVID time. The one that you mentioned was just one of many.
spent 4hrs last night watching your vids, very helpful - was planning 1 year study only but good thing I stumble into you channel!!! hi rachel, from cebu here looking forward to more helpful vids from you and hopefully you could also partner a school in london ontario and feature current challenges of international studs because of pandemic... 😊
Thank you dear for wasting 4 hours on my content LOL. I am currently focused on the schools in BC as I am located close to the schools and campuses. I will eventually make my way to Ontario. Hopefully, next year!
I don't know if you'll see this comment but may I ask why didn't you wait in your homeland for the invitation? In the government site it says that you can be eligible for CEC even if you're outside of canada. Thank you for sharing your experience!!
Yes, that was very possible. I could have waited from outside of Canada but the logistics of coming back to the country during the time of COVID would just be difficult. It may take me several months to get in and restart my life again. So I preferred to stay back and process everything within Canada 😊🥰 hope that answers your question and I appreciate you thinking outside the box! ❤️
Hello, thank you so much for the content!! I was wondering what does a "1-year study" exactly means. Is it a 2-semester program? 3-semester program? I would like to know the basis on which CIC considers the length of the program as 1 year so you can be eligible for CRS points. Thank you!
I'm so happy for you! I feel you when u had those feelings in being anxious about the result of ur PR application.... Fast-forward, now I'm waiting for my oathtaking of being a citizen of Canada & vote this coming elections . Good luck on ur Canadian citizenship soon in 3yrs time...
immigrations to Canada is a bit difficult to under take most especially application visa , the best way secure a visa to Canada is to get an authorized and transparent immigration consultant, Mr Ludwig Blackburn assisted me and I successfully migrated to Canada I'm grateful, all thanks to him.!
at First I was skeptical about success testimonies of Mr. Ludwig Blackburn of immigration consultant, but seeing his success testimonies of immigrants on social media I decided to give him a try and it really worked for me, I text him on Whatsapp that I need a work visa
it was cost but I have no choice, Mr. Ludwig Blackburn told me to send my CV which I did. he submitted my application to ESDC for LMIA followed by the second application to CIC, finaly i got a permission, well I got my Visa afterwards mr. Ludwig is really playing a professional
I was a keen optimistic to to travel to Canada I tried all I could to get a visa to Canada for I failed for 2 years, A medical doctor based in Canada referred me to Mr Ludwig Blackburn, he really guided me and I was issued a visa on January.
fantastic information,,!! well I'm from metro Manila Philippines I want to immigrate to Canada I heard that there salaries are unique, please how can I contact Mr. Ludwig Blackburn
It really depends. They have to be 1. Both part of the designated learning institution list 2. Both programs must be PGWP-eligible. IRCC made a table regarding this matter found here: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/post-graduation-work-permit-program/permit.html Look at "The student completed more than one program from an eligible DLI within 2 years."
Thank you for sharing your story! it brings calmness and hope for future plans. I know how it feels the struggle and anxiety wanting to become a PR in a country. I myself decided to come up with a 2nd plan other than becoming a PR in the Netherlands... I don't see myself being a residence here with the language barriers and personal long-term goals...perhaps Canada would be my chance
If I completed my 1 year study with a private college n get employment while my study permit is valid will I be to apply for an open work permit? Or apply for the express entry ?
I don’t think you’re eligible for a PGWP if you get a non-degree program at a private college. This means you’ll need to check other programs that you may be eligible for to work after graduation.
Is one year pg certificate in project management sufficient for PR, if i have 7 years experience in india after btech mechanical engineering and have ielts score 8777?
Tried calculating my future CRS if my hubby didn't take any ECA AND IELTS, at 460. Thanks ms. Rachel. Im taking up 1 year program this coming September and my hubby is on OWP. in PEI. Praying that he'll be able to get a designated employer. Thanks again for this. Good luck to everyone! God bless and keep safe!
Thank you for this 🥰What if I have my husband with me in Canada as OWP, and by the time that I am still studying, he’s already eligible to apply in Express entry, can he include me in applying for pr?

Kung paranoid ka mag study ka… pero kung 10 years ka na nagwowork at professional ka naman , at malakas ang faith mo…makakapasa ka naman. 25 years old no canadian experience pero nakarating ng Canada alone. No studies needed…Faith lang and money , lots of money.
How po?

We are certainly glad to have you here in Canada. I did notice a difference in your accent in this video compared to your other video a few weeks ago about getting your PR. Curious as during that other video I could not tell from your English speaking where you grew up. But in this video it was far more noticeable, your accent I mean. Again, Canada is happy to have you here and clearly the system works for those that are applying. Wonder how much the COVID situation affected the score as you mentioned it was higher previously and dropped below your score at a later date.
you got it because you are a good person
I do believe that you receive what you give out to the world 💕🫶
You are the best i watched regarding intertional education to permanent residency. Very helpful. Thank you. To follow you on your nxt video. Very informative .
Love to listen to your talk. Your such a therapist 🥰
LOL.....You have not answered my question. Where are you from in Vietnam?
rrdancel im from northeastern Vietnam, Hai Phong city. Have u been? May I ask how many time a visitor visa can be extended? And do u need an explanation letter for each time?
I deeply appreciate the info you provided in this video. I think it's a MUST for everybody willing to continue his or her master in CA. 🙏🙏
Hello Rachel!!! Thank you for sharing your experience and helping future international students. I am enrolled for September 2021 intake. I will be taking 1yr program only and also thinking of the risk, however I came across this video about Bridging Open Working Permit. And I think I will be a good option for students who took 1 yr program only and can have a one year extension while waiting for PR results. I hope you can discuss further about this option on your vlog as this can be very helpful. Thank you and congrats on your PR!
BOWP have certain eligibility requirements. In short, I was not eligible and had to go from PGWP to visitor status. I am thinking about doing a video on this topic in the future!
Absolutely amazing vid, thank you for your helpful tips and guideline, especially your reality experience. I'm going to beginning my journey to PR with my first step is studying MSc in Canada, so this vid is extremely informative for me to set up my plan in the future. Wish you you the best!
Chao Ban! I am glad that it helped!
This was so useful..... Thanks Gal...
Awwww you’re most welcome love! Glad it helped 💕
I think you're so lovely! I'm super happy I found your vlogs!! I'm currently looking at Canada for my post grad so hopefully things go well and I'll be on my way....Happy you got your PR :D
Thank you for your support and love! Thank you for stumbling across my channel, hope more of my content will be helpful in your journey to Canada! I wish you all the best 😊💕
Yea 2 year course would be best, bcz in three year work permit one can at least pay their loans 👍
thank you for giving your viewers real talk about this matter.
My biggest concer is that when you go to Canads to migrate all that work experience and education in your country is back to zero. So its like jusy going to Canada as a highschool graduate with very little chance to get a job based on my work experience and education.
Yes, that's why you have to immigrate young
Thank you, girl! you helped me out very much with your valuable piece of advice!
Exactly. I have been four and half years in Canada and still didn’t receive my PR. It’s never easy like before.
Can you tell me more about your case (not enough CRS score, not working in NOC Teer 1,2,3 ...) ? I am planning to go to Canada for study as an international student at 31 years old (3D Artist), do you think i should take a risk ?
@@gkclansame condition here,I'm 33
4? What’s your score please?
I love how you speak. Very clear ..
But in Saskatchewan province 6 month Canadian experience is enough to apply PR. So we can apply once completed 6 month work experience in PGWP. At the same time we have 6 month more on hand to Wait for PR.
Wow is that true? In noc b???so i Can study a 1 year program work for 6 month nd apply for m'y PR? Is this in the entry express or the province programme ?

Thank you so much for this video! And so happy it worked for you! I found your channel because I typed "how to immigrate to Canada". I am feeling lost, I was thinking about doing a 1 year study to get more points for EE under the Federal skilled worker program. However I have well paid job here in Germany and am really scared of not finding a job. It´s a risk. And I can´t take a decision. Glad to see that you are in Vancouver :)
you are a sweetheart for uploading such a video, an eye opener!! It's such a dilemma for middle class parents like us :( Can i please please ask you a question. My son who holds an Italian passport would like to do a 3 year degree program in Canada.. Since it's so costly, I thought he could do a 2 year Diploma and apply for his PR so that he could register for the degree program and pay less tuition fee like the Canadians, but as you've mentioned it will take longer than 2 years to have the PR in hand? Whats the best thing to do? Hope you could answer me
Thank u for this content Ms Rachel, helps us alot in everything to consider. One of ur vids about working as an Intl student even, helped us decide to save further and pursue education by next year instead. And now this helped us decide and go for 2yr study. Hopefully we claim it next yr. Bless u
Ahhh I have the clock ticking too it’s been very hard to get a skilled job. Hopefully.. but hey this inspired me
I hope you can get a job!!!
Noc 0 job experience doesnt count for Canadian experience class???

I learned so many things from your channel such as PR pathways, student life and cost of living. Which helped me to get a good understanding of the opportunities and risks of coming to Canada as a student. Especially you are not afraid to discuss challenges and difficulties students have to face in Canada, which I really appreciate. Also, you loving and adorable 😍 at the same time confident and independent 🤩, which are extremely rare qualities to find in a person. Thank you so much Rachel.
Woooahhhhhh. That was a boat load of compliments. I felt really nice reading your comment. It gives me hope to continue my mission by providing more correct info to those like yourself. Thank you for leaving me such a thoughtful and inspirational comment.
Shouldn't you have earned the 15 additional points for the canadian education on your CRS? Also, very helpful video, thank you so much!
I should have but I think they updated the changes after I submitted my Express Entry profile. But it should’ve been 465 with the new points system. :)
It's a very informative vlog. The best I have seen so far for my preparation journey to Canada. Thank you very much Rachel.. Thumbs up to you.. 👍👍👍

I feel like the main problem with 1 year PGWP is that you may or not be able to get 1 year of Canadian work experience to qualify for Canadian Experience Class, since this depends on how quickly do you find a job and how long it takes for your PGWP to be approved etc, am I right? I checked out my potential CRS score and I am feeling pretty optimistic (knowing French helps ^^), my only concern is whether or not I'll be able to fulfil the 1 year experience requirement :(
If you can avoid the one year program do it, a friend of mine had the same issue she had, is so so risky that way.
I would try to avoid this potentially disastrous situation. If you have to save up some money, then take your time to save up.
One year work experience in canada make you eligible to apply for PR. Even no need of study visa. AIP also make you eligible for one year work permit and later on eligible for PR.
Yes but the challenge comes on getting a work permit, currently there are only two ways: open or closed work permit,
Closed work permits are hard to come by bc of the need of having to find an employer to sponsor you to work here. Which is why some consider the study pathway bc of the added benefit of working in Canada after graduation.
But if that hurdle is passed and all other eligibility requirements are met - then your point stands.
Too late. I have already been accepted for a 3-semester program (1 year). I guess all I can do is hope for the best
It's not too late. You can take another 1 year program and apply for visa extension. That's what I did
@@josevich how to apply for +1 yr. program and for visa extension?
@@josevich are you a permanent resident now?
No no no.. you're in the right track. Why everyone focuses only on the Federal EE? Are you going to study in BC or AB? just look for BC PNP info, or AINP too. Lots of hopes when you're already in Canada!
Maybe you can study another one year subject after you finish your recent one, then apply for 3 years PGWP
Your story really inspired me! But i need to be financially stable first before emotionally ready as I don't have any family in Canada. Keep safe then!

@@guruworld3608 so I’ll be able to apply for PR under CEC after completion of 1 yr. As I’ve only year of work permit I’ve to leave canada when I’ll be applying right?
Wow you're open and honest. Thanks for the videos!
The information is not too bad but people should give correct information. If you study 1 year you will get a 1 year PGWP, you study 2 years you'll get a 2 year PGWP (not 3 years) max is 3 year PGWP. If you apply for PR under CEC in Express Entry you can be outside of Canada you don't need to be inside Canada. She could have gone back home and work and come back as soon as she received her PR. I am not sure why the government created CEC saying it does not require education when in reality you can only get enough CRS points when you have education. There was only one draw during Covid 19 time that allowed CEC with CRS points of 75 but this I think is an absolute exemption on Feb. 13, 2021 inviting over 27000 applicants. For me the CEC is primarily good for students who study in Canada and get a PGWP and work in a NOC O, A or B occupation which as per requirement.
Katy, I would like to clarify some of your statements:
1. As per IRCC policy: a 2 year program MAY lead to a 3 year PGWP. The word may is used to give the visa officer discretionary powers in making a decision on granting a 3 year PGWP. In most clear cases, the student that studies a 2 year program gets a 3 year PGWP.
2. Yes, you are right I could have come back home. However, I took into consideration some challenges during that particular time, which was during the height of COVID. There were travel restrictions, rules, regulations and bands. There were also challenges of gathering documents that are located within Canada which requires personal authorization. All these documents, took some time to gather after I received my ITA. So, I decided it was better to remain here and wait it out. That decision turned out to be the right one as I was able to gather all my documents needed to apply for PR and saved a lot of time and money.
3. CEC is mainly for anyone with IN CANADA work experience. So, education is not necessary. But, in Canada education leads to a PGWP. PGWP is a type of an open work permit. There are not many types of open work permits. So, with a PGWP, one can get in-Canada work experience. Aside from an open work permit, there is a closed work permit which is extremely hard to get. So, in theory your statement is correct. In practice, it is not necessarily true.
4. There were many draws during COVID time. The one that you mentioned was just one of many.

spent 4hrs last night watching your vids, very helpful - was planning 1 year study only but good thing I stumble into you channel!!! hi rachel, from cebu here looking forward to more helpful vids from you and hopefully you could also partner a school in london ontario and feature current challenges of international studs because of pandemic... 😊
Thank you dear for wasting 4 hours on my content LOL. I am currently focused on the schools in BC as I am located close to the schools and campuses. I will eventually make my way to Ontario. Hopefully, next year!
I don't know if you'll see this comment but may I ask why didn't you wait in your homeland for the invitation? In the government site it says that you can be eligible for CEC even if you're outside of canada. Thank you for sharing your experience!!
Yes, that was very possible. I could have waited from outside of Canada but the logistics of coming back to the country during the time of COVID would just be difficult. It may take me several months to get in and restart my life again. So I preferred to stay back and process everything within Canada 😊🥰 hope that answers your question and I appreciate you thinking outside the box! ❤️
Hello, thank you so much for the content!! I was wondering what does a "1-year study" exactly means. Is it a 2-semester program? 3-semester program? I would like to know the basis on which CIC considers the length of the program as 1 year so you can be eligible for CRS points. Thank you!
Do have same question
Amazing, one of the best enlightening videos that I have seen so far, Thanks.
Hey Rachel, why didn't you consider applying for a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) and continue working while waiting for your immigration decision?
Already one step ahead of you 😜 Here’s the reason: ua-cam.com/video/LDAxVjMCE-Q/v-deo.html ☺️
Tons of thanks. It literally brightens the way for myself. God Bless
Will eligibility score points increase if a student takes a 2yr program as oppose to a 1yr program only?
Depends on the province. Not sure about the others but in Saskatchewan, 1 year certificate will award 12 points, 2 year diploma will award 15 points.
You are so Inspiring. I broke down when you said "I was thoughtless".
If i study 2 different programs for 2 years, still will i be able to get 3 year work permit?

immigrations to Canada is a bit difficult to under take most especially application visa , the best way secure a visa to Canada is to get an authorized and transparent immigration consultant, Mr Ludwig Blackburn assisted me and I successfully migrated to Canada I'm grateful, all thanks to him.!
at First I was skeptical about success testimonies of Mr. Ludwig Blackburn of immigration consultant, but seeing his success testimonies of immigrants on social media I decided to give him a try and it really worked for me, I text him on Whatsapp that I need a work visa
it was cost but I have no choice, Mr. Ludwig Blackburn told me to send my CV which I did. he submitted my application to ESDC for LMIA followed by the second application to CIC, finaly i got a permission, well I got my Visa afterwards mr. Ludwig is really playing a professional
I was a keen optimistic to to travel to Canada I tried all I could to get a visa to Canada for I failed for 2 years, A medical doctor based in Canada referred me to Mr Ludwig Blackburn, he really guided me and I was issued a visa on January.
the good things about him, is his ability to help the average and the poor to afford Tobe among the 4000,0000 of immigrants of Canada 2021
fantastic information,,!! well I'm from metro Manila Philippines I want to immigrate to Canada I heard that there salaries are unique, please how can I contact Mr. Ludwig Blackburn

If I completed my 1 year study with a private college n get employment while my study permit is valid will I be to apply for an open work permit? Or apply for the express entry ?
I don’t think you’re eligible for a PGWP if you get a non-degree program at a private college. This means you’ll need to check other programs that you may be eligible for to work after graduation.
