How to get Canada PR without work experience?

Work experience factor in CRS calculation helps you earn good points. But having less work experience is not even a topic of discussion when you have no work experience to apply for Canada PR. If you are worried about how to apply for PR without work experience then we have the best pathways for you.

To know about the detailed information, stick to the last line of this blog.

So, let’s start the discussion with a short introduction, and then we will come to the pathways on how to apply for PR without work experience in Canada.

Introduction

Work Experience, language skills, and education are the three most important factors that Canada invites applicants from outside Canada. A work experience in your field of education and having diplomas with them help you score higher in CRS points.

But when you don’t have any work experience then choices remain fewer. This is because Canada wants to build a population of potential people. People who can contribute to their economic growth with skills, education, and work experience.

Even though Canada has economic purposes it still provides some programs that allow foreign nationals to live in Canada without work experience.

Immigrate to Canada without Work Experience

Immigration to Canada generally requires work experience that can prove your admissibility to Canada. But if you don’t have one, you can apply with several other options.

Post Graduate Work Permit

A Post-Graduation Work Permit allows an international student to gain Canadian work experience after completing their study program. PGWP is an open work permit that provides freedom to work for any employer in Canada.

International students who have completed their study program from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit to work in Canada.

With PGWP, you can earn a good work experience in Canada and open up the door for many opportunities.

Can you work in Canada while your PGWP application is under process?

If you have completed your study program and applied for PGWP, while waiting for the decision of PGWP, you can work in Canada. But for that:

1. You must have a valid Study Work permit
2. You must have studied full-time in a DLI
3. You were authorized to work off-campus without a work permit
4. Have not exceeded the hours of work

What is the validity of PGWP?

A PGWP is valid for between 8 months to 3 years depending on the length of your study program.

FACTS about PGWP

1. Post-Graduation Work Permit doesn’t require LMIA
2. PGWP cannot be issued longer than the length of the study program
3. PGWP can be applied only once.
4. PGWP has a similar validity as your study program. So, whenever you plan to apply for one, make sure you are applying for it after completing your highest education or the longest duration study program in Canada.

PGWP Eligibility requirements

1. Must be 18 years old.
2. Have completed a minimum of 8 months of the study program (full-time).

4. Have to apply for PGWP within 180 days of completing the study program.
5. Must have a valid study permit at the time of PGWP application.
6. If you apply before the expiry of your study permit, you can begin working in Canada.

Options for PR after PGWP

PGWP comes with Canadian education and work experience. So when you want to become a Permanent Resident of Canada, the entry process becomes smoother. Because you have Canadian language skills, education from Canada, and Canadian work experience, your profile makes it easier to get noticed and invited.

Here are some of the best programs to choose after PGWP to become PR:

1. Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
2. Federal Skilled worker program (FSW)
3. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
4. Quebec Experience Class

What is the processing time for a PGWP application?

PGWP takes between 80-180 days of processing time.

Family Sponsorship Program

2. Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship.
