Is it true that after completing a Canadian degree and one year of Canadian work experience, I become eligible to apply for permanent residency (PR) in Canada?
Yes, it is true. After completing your Canadian degree and gaining at least one year of full-time skilled work experience in Canada, you become eligible to apply for permanent residency (PR) through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under the Express Entry system.
The work experience must be in a skilled occupation and obtained within three years before your PR application. This is a common and effective route for international graduates to transition to PR in Canada.
