Applying for PR

[EPaulia]

My name is Eugene, and I have been in Canada, Alberta for almost 4 years.

I am an international student at the University of Calgary (Haskayne School of Business), studying business analytics with a minor in Data Science. I have completed my fourth year and am now transitioning to the fifth. I worked at Suncor for 1 year and 10 months as a Data Scientist, and this fall I am starting to work at Cenovus Energy as a Business Analyst, on an 8-month contract. My work arrangement at Suncor was mixed - part-time, full-time, and two semesters of Co-op. At Cenovus Energy, it will be a full-time Co-op.

I am concerned that due to constant work, I am losing time that I could use to apply for permanent resident (PR) status in Canada. I need advice on possible alternative ways to apply for PR after graduation, considering my work experience. I am looking for resources to get more information on this issue. Thank you.

A Post-Graduate Work Permit is likely your best bet, but there is a timeline you basically have to follow. In your case, I would think you would be in very good shape as far as applying for PR, but I'm not sure there's any shortcuts available.
