PR application sent to Alberta? Posted on: Tue, 3 Feb 2004 05:28:43 +0000 (UTC)

Hi,

I was told that for me, an international student who graduates this
Spring it would be more beneficial first to apply for the work permit
(one year). After that, I would have a 'different' status, which would
allow me to apply in Alberta for PR. Indeed, as I read on the bottom
of this page http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/irpa/fs-workers.html , it
says that:

The Regulations allow certain skilled temporary workers to be granted
permanent resident status from within Canada as a skilled worker
immigrant rather than having to leave Canada to complete the
immigration process.

Could any expert explain this to me, please?
I am trying to figure it out whether is better to apply for
immigration right after getting the work permit or to wait until I
will have this whole year of work completed here.

I'm grateful for your advice!
