lz背景是,马上结束ubc 两年master in math(thesis base),期间有ta和ra。六月拿到complete letter回国过暑假,9月去多伦多大学读second master in computer science。这个项目16个月,8个月上课8个月实习。
我的问题是,
1. 工签我打算读完多大这个再申请。应该能拿三年。之前朋友让我ubc毕业就申请,也是三年,刨掉多大上课16个月还有一年半,他们的理由是,现在有政策说coop时间不算在项目时长里,造成多大毕业只能拿8个月上课那段时间来申请工签,可能还拿不到一年。但是lz仔细看了work permit网站,有两个项目的可以叠加在一起算时间,max三年。so... am I right?
2. 多大offer里说了work permit的事情,要我们申请, concern是,这个coop的work permit和毕业申请的工签是两个事情对吗?因为不是说工签只能申请一次,,莫名慌张。。。
Working in Canada (Students in co-op and internship programs)
An eight-month internship is a formal requirement of your MScAC program. International students participating in an internship program must apply for a work permit as well as a study permit. Please ensure that your work permit application is completed and submitted by September 28, 2018.
To be eligible for a work permit, you must meet the following conditions:
• You must have a valid study permit;
• Your intended employment must be an essential part of your program of study in Canada;
• Your employment must be part of your academic program, certified by a letter from a responsible academic official of the institution; and
• Your co-op or internship employment cannot form more than 50 percent of the total program of study.
Am I eligible?
To qualify for this category, you must:
have, or be eligible for, legal immigration status in Canada
have completed a valid graduate program of study at an eligible post-secondary institution in B.C. in the last three years. show your intent and ability to live in B.C.
The thing is, with 2 masters (in math and cs) from two top canadian universities, I don't think you need to worry about jobs/immigration for the next few years...
If you are not in rush to get a PR then you should wait 1 year and apply through the Ontario PNP
