Hi! I need your advice everyone. I am on my term 3 student permit right now. however, an employer offered me an lmia for two years stay in the company. this means i need to change my student permit to work permit. is this lmia an assurance for me to apply for PR after two years? is it a better than my private degree in BBA-student visa with pgwp? the lmia job that the employer offered to me is an NOC level C. should i proceed with my student permit with PGWP after or grab the lmia offer now? thanks
