We want to emphasize our advice for individuals seeking permanent residency in Canada amidst the increased Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores in Express Entry draws.
Instead of pursuing Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) or managing payrolls, international students aspiring for Canadian permanent residency might consider enrolling in a Master’s program at one of the recognized universities.
This program will:
- Enhance their academic credentials, preparing them for future job opportunities.
- Enable them to remain in Canada as students, thereby enhancing their prospects of obtaining permanent residency.
- Unlike other streams, the OINP Masters Graduate Stream does not require employment offers, Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs), or proof of payroll. Therefore, it is recommended to invest in developing your professional profile instead.
