Thinking About Permanent Residency? Don’t Wait Until You Graduate or Finish a Year of Work in Canada!

If you’re already in Canada as a student or worker, it’s never too early to start exploring your options for permanent residency (PR). Many people believe they have to wait until they graduate or complete one full year of work experience before they can even begin thinking about PR — but that’s not always true.

Did You Know? You May Already Qualify

If you had a strong profile before coming to Canada — including post-secondary education, skilled work experience outside Canada, and strong language test scores — you may have previously qualified under the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program. This means you might already meet the criteria for Express Entry without needing additional Canadian experience.

So why wait?

Why It’s Worth Exploring Early

  • You could already have enough CRS points to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

  • Some provincial nominee programs (PNPs) don’t require one year of Canadian experience.

  • Express Entry draws are competitive — planning ahead helps you take advantage of the right opportunity.

  • Immigration programs change regularly — the sooner you act, the better your chances of qualifying under current rules.
