Hi!

Can one apply for PR/PNP while on Temporary Work Permit(Semi-skilled occupation)? or one should first get employed as skilled worker?

Thanks

Yes, but if am in Canada on Temporary Work permit (semi skilled), I can apply for PR under Express Entry or PNP?

I read somewhere one must be working under category 0, A or B at the time of application. So, first get skilled job visa?

Thanks for replying!

You'll need to read through the programs in detail to understand what it takes to qualify and determine which programs you may qualify under. Good luck.
