Hello everyone, how are you doing? I'm back today with a new video.
As you may have noticed, today's video topic is "My PR Plan in Canada."
How students can acquire PR at the end, I'll tell you about the entire process of getting PR,
but for now, I'll give you an overview of how I planned for things and how they're going.
So, in this video, I'll explain how I intended to acquire a PR.
So, watch the entire video, but first let me inform you that this video is sponsored by Great Learning,
which I will discuss later. But first, let me tell you about my PR strategy.
Many individuals on Instagram told me that they don't know how they can get PR because
isn't much awareness about it in India. Those who follow YouTube videos may be aware of this,
but some people believe that if they come to Canada on a student visa, they will be granted PR.
That is not the case. There are other things that have a significant influence on it.
So, watch the entire video, but first, Like this video,
and let's get started with the video as I explain to you everything you need to keep in mind.
The first thing you need in PR is a study permit.
When you come to Canada as a student, whether you have a one-year or two-year course,
you may be aware that you will be granted a one-year work permit if your course lasts one year
and a three-year work permit if your course lasts two years.
Seneca College in Toronto provided me with a two-year course. I'm currently in Winnipeg.
If you haven't seen my previous videos, I'll give you an outline of my journey here.
So I enrolled in a two-year program that ended in August 2020.
The Express Entry Points were increased after my course was completed.
ater in this video, I'll explain in detail what "Express Entry Points" are.
So I considered moving to Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Now I had two options: go with Express Entry or go with PNP. I'll go over these two terms in depth.
In simple terms, Express Entry implies you must apply for direct PR,
and the government's criteria are 1200. The cut-off for this score is set every 2-3 weeks.
That cut-off is determined by your studies, age, qualifications, and so forth.
The current cut-off is between 350 and 375, but when I finished my studies, it was above 400,
which is quite tough for a high school kid to attain. So, that alternative is not available to me
because achieving a score of 450–455 with only a higher secondary education and any two-year course is tough.
So, instead of taking that route, I chose to move here.
So, Great Learning is sponsoring today's video. Great Learning, like other well-known platforms,
is a fantastic learning platform where you can master a variety of skills.
They developed a program called Great Learning Academy a year ago, through which you can acquire
1000 hours of certificate course content in such areas as Cloud Computing, IT Infrastructure,
Web Development, AI, Big Data, and many other courses that you can check out on their website.
We'll go to their website, where I'll show you what you can learn,
and after you finish their courses, you'll receive a certificate that you can publish on networks like LinkedIn
to help you find a job. As you can see, this is the Great Learning website.
You'll see the "Sign Up" option here, where you can sign up for the website,
and the link to the website is also in the description.
Here, they have 1.5 million+ learners from 160 different countries, indicating that it is used by many people to improve their skills.
They have collaborated with Stanford, Northwestern, Stanford Business, and other colleges
to provide the highest quality education possible, and the courses are listed below.
Java, Digital Marketing, Excel, Data Science, Cloud Foundations, and hundreds of more courses are accessible here.
And, as you can see, the key point here is that these are free courses.
So, if you enroll in these courses, you will not only receive course information,
but you will also receive interactive sessions with professionals.
The second point is that you will not be required to provide any college ID
in order to participate in these courses. You can just enroll for free and gain access to all of the courses here,
which is beneficial if you want to learn something new. If you like their website
and believe you can learn something from it, follow the link in the description and sign up for their classes.
So, let's go back to the video where I was telling you about my PR strategy in Canada.
PNP was the second option I had. In the video explaining why I relocated to Winnipeg, I discussed PNP.
You can also watch the video if you want more information on the subject.
But in simple words, PNP stands for Provincial Nominee Program.
It means that whenever you visit any province, you must meet their PNP requirements.
Right now, the requirement states that you must have one year of experience in a NOC-C level job,
but I have a NOC-B level job, so I don't have to worry about that.
So, I figured I'd move here and if I could find a NOC-C or NOC-B level job, that would be great.
Then I'd take the IELTS exam, which only requires 5 bands, which isn't a big concern.
And, as you know, I got an overall score of 7.5 in IELTS, so I'm not worried about that.
So I'll go with this option. Then, after I obtain my PNP, I'll apply for Express Entry.
So, first I'll apply for PNP, and then for express entry.
You're probably wondering what the difference is and why I'm going for PNP first.
Because I'll earn extra points with PNP, which is roughly 600,
and if we add it to our overall score, we'll be above the cut-off points. So, if you have PNP,
you won't have any problems applying for PR. So, these are the things I had in mind.
What is the current scenario, and what is my current plan?
I currently have about 8-9 months of job experience and will have 1 year of experience in 3-4 months.
So now I'm thinking if the points cut-off is lower. Right now, my total points are 408.
So, if the cut-off falls below 408, I'll apply for Express Entry for direct PR.
However, if the cut-off exceeds 430, I will go for PNP. After applying for PNP,
it takes 2-3 months for PNP to arrive, and once it arrives, you can apply for express entry,
which lengthens the PR procedure slightly, but these were the two alternatives that I had in mind,
and most individuals can only gain PR through these two means.
There are other possibilities, but in my instance, these were the best options for me,
so I focused solely on these two. So, I hope you understand what I was saying
and my point of view on how I intend to gain PR.So, that's the video;
