Once you've done that, we'll review the facts around your case and look into possible alternative solutions to resolve your situation.
M: All right, that sounds good. My name is Mona Raad. I am originally from Iran. I came to Canada six years ago (2014) on a student visa and studied business at McMaster University, Burlington, ON. I graduated in 2018. Shortly after graduation and in the same year, I got a job at Microsat Corp. in Mississauga, ON. I like Canada and I like my job and I want to apply to become a permanent resident with hoping to become Canadian citizen. Our company is a subsidiary of an American company based in New Jersey, the US. At some points in near future, I may need to travel to the US for business trip. This is what I was told during my job interview. However, as Iranian national I may face with some difficulty crossing the border because each time I have to apply for a US visa and it is time-consuming. Anyway, I myself did some research on how I could apply for permanent residency and I got confused because it appears to be different ways and I don't know which way may be faster and with highest chance of success. In my search, I came across your website. You are claiming that help providestudent immigration services, especially when there is a high degree of confusion about immigration programs.
C: Congratulations on your success so far. The good news is that the federal government hopes to welcome over 1.2 million new Canadian permanent residents in the next two years (2021-2023). International students in Canada will likely play a major role in helping the government achieve its immigration targets. We will be able to help you find the best possible way.

Let me summarize what I've caught from your answers. Please confirm if my understanding is correct. In 2014, you were admitted entry to Canada through a Study Permit, which allowed you to study Business at McMaster University. You were able to successfully graduated with a Business Degree and was hired as "Business Development Officer" by a company that is a subsidiary of an American-based Company. You were employed in that company one month after graduation. While studying, you were able to work on-campus as TA and off-campus in a store during the summers. You did not work more than 17 hours a week on- or off-campus. You are currently working full time. Your concern is that your work may require you to travel to the US, which will be hard because the visa application for that country is a time-consuming hassle. You have been on work permit in Canada for one year and a half. You want to apply for Permanent Residency.
M: Yes, correct
Advising part
C: That's nice. Okay Mona, Internationalstudents who applied for their Canadian permanent residence after completing one year on a postgraduate work permit, just like you, would make up a significant part of the IRCC's targets.
There are several permanent resident categories that you may fit into, including theCanadian Experience Class, theFederal Skilled Worker Program, and theProvincial Nominee Program. You are falling under the "Economic Class". Completing anExpress Entry profileis the first step for you to immigrate to Canada permanently as a skilled worker. Since you've done that, you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. An Invitation to Apply for permanent residence will be based on your score and rank in the Express Entry pool using theComprehensive Ranking System.
We are glad to assist you with creating an Express Entry profile. We will guide you what documents you need to prepare. Actually, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will NOT accept the Academic module of IELTS for Express Entry. Therefore, you need to either take the IELTS test, General Module, or take CELPIP. You need to fulfill the minimum requirements for Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7.
If you are willing to have our support taking you through the entire process, you need to sign a retainer agreement.
M: Absolutely, Can I see a blank copy of the retainer agreement?
C: Sure you can. Here is a copy. There are some terms that I ask you to read them carefully. You are required to agree on these terms as our client.
M: May I ask you to make another appointment and I can sign the agreement.
C: I think our calendar is booked during this week. We can book you in next week. Which day and what time is convenient for you?
M: Wednesday next week is fine. I prefer appointment in the afternoon.
C: All right
