Good morning to all men and women of goodwill. Thank you all for your selfless service for God and Humanity.

I have a situation and I am here to seek advice.

I recently just got admission with humber college for January 2023 intake to study human resources management. Its a one year program that will run from January to september (classwork) and september to december (coop).

I have confirmed the admission and at the verge of paying the fees but a family friend is discouraging from following through with the admission reason being that:

1. I will not be allowed to work during my one year progam because IRCC does not give work permit on the study permit for one year programs

2. That the one year PGWP that I will be given at the end of my program is too short a time to get a job to enable me proceed with PR applications being that Ontario is very competitive

3. That provinces like new brunswick is better since you can start applying for PR after one year of study with or without a job offer.

4. Alternatively, I look for an 18 -24 months program (very expensive though) to enable me get a 3 years PGWP

I am confused and really would not want to miss out on this opportunity but would also not want to be stranded out there and there are almost no schools still open for January intake now.

Please I need advice.

Thank you

Good afternoon everyone. Please I've got a question when I was filling the Application online. I didn't see a slot where I could upload my police character certificate for my study permit application. So is it no longer needed? Or I would have to submit it when I go for biometrics? Cause I heard I would also summit some of my other documents when I go for biometrics.

There is no special place to upload police report for student study permit.

You will upload with other documents you are providing

This is my view in response to your concerns:

1. This is not true. You are only allowed to work up to 20 hours per week as a student except on short breaks and school holidays. This work eligibility is tied to your study permit, meaning you can only work when you resume classes. Also, your Coop programme allows you to intern with an employer and gain Canadian work experience as a prerequisite to your degree. This internship programme lets you work up to 37.5 or 40 hours per week (full time).

2. I would say "one cap does not fit all", and it all depends. Your friend has a valid concern here but getting a job quickly after school depends on your effort, the God factor and luck. Sometimes, a network helps you get through the door for an interview. I have seen classmates that spent months after school without getting that desired job, and they had to fall back on menial jobs to earn some money and pay their rent, while I have also seen some get jobs quickly in energy companies and banks; it just depends. I would say it is 50/50 here for a one-year program. I advise that you aim at a province where your skillset sells the most. Ontario has a larger market but is a very diverse and competitive province and pricey too.

The two-year programme gives you more time to get a job and have that one-year Canadian experience to apply under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) with a three years PGWP.

3. The Atlantic province's immigration pilot has a pathway to PR that does not require work experience (your friend is right here), although they stated at least two years of studies. Quoting the below directly from IRCC:

You do not need to meet the work experience requirements if you're an international graduate who
has a degree, diploma, certificate, or trade or apprenticeship certification that

o took at least two years of studies
o is from a recognized post-secondary institution in 1 of the 4 Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador)
o was a full-time student for the entire time you were studying
o lived in one of the following provinces for at least 16 months during the last two years before you graduated:
New Brunswick
Nova Scotia
Newfoundland and Labrador or
Prince Edward Island
o had the visa or permit you needed to work, study or get training while you were in Canada

source : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/atlantic-immigration/how-to-immigrate/eligibility.html

4. It does not mean getting a job quickly after a one-year programme is impossible. You might be lucky the company where you did your coop may still require your service after graduation.

I hope this helps you to weigh your options.

Police report is not necessary. There's no need for it. You can add it to your SOP sha.

At the completion of 1 year study, you can enroll for another 1 year to be eligible for 2-3 years PGWP.
