Pharmacy Technician Diploma eligibility for PR

[homersmiling]

Hello Guys,

I am planning to study Pharmacy Technician 2 year diploma from Norquest College in Canada. Does this diploma makes me eligible for PR, if I work as a Pharmacy Technician for 1 year after completing this program?

This is very urgent. I would appreciate if someone could give me valuable suggestions regarding my question.

Thanks in advance.

If you complete the 2 years and work for 1 year in a skilled occupation, then you can apply under the CEC program.

Hi,

Bagging a job, depends on your skill level, performance, networking, job market conditions, overall profile and of course luck.

After passing out of any 2 years full time course, form any recognized college/university across Canada, you will need to apply for and receive a Post grad work permit (PGWP) of upto 3 years (if you pursue any post secondary recognized course of less than 2 years, then you will get a PGWP equivalent to the length of your study duration).

Then, you can either apply via Federal Canadian Experience class (CEC) route OR opt for any of the Provincial Nominee Programmes (PNPs), depending upon in which province you find a job and/or where you wish to live.

Now:
For applying via CEC, get any Full time permanent skilled job i.e NOC O,A or B level... work for 1 year... and then apply for PR.
OR
For applying via any of the PNPs, get any job (skilled or unskilled, some province may require you to get a job related to your field of study or not... both depending upon different provincial rules), work for required duration of time..usually much shorter... 3-6 months(again depending upon individual provinces), apply for the PNP nomination and then get PR. Some PNPs are tougher and require employer support and are totally employer driven, while others are comparatively easier.

For various options available to immigrate after completion of post-secondary studies for international students in Canada, check this previous post.

(Here, you can go to the individual CEC and PNP offical websites of different provinces and know more about it in detail, and finally choose your preferences.)

At the end, if you get a full time skilled job offer in your area of study...after completion of your studies..then all options will be open to you (except for Quebec, where knowledge of French is mandatory).

Best of Luck.
