So my brother had his PGWP approved, but right when they approved it, they also sent him a letter on his portal about getting a medical exam done. The IRCC portal status says "Action is required".

However, my brother is not planning to work in any field that requires a medical exam, such as healthcare and teaching.

So should we still get the medical exam done, or should we resolve this some other way and/or not do an exam if we don't have to?

Thank you for your advice!

Hello, everyone.

I am trying to find the NOC code of my job. It's a part time job that involves working with disable students in any capacity and doing a plethora of tasks to help them with their studies. I've been doing it for 2 years now. This job doesn't require me to have any degree or qualification, but they do give me training for various duties I do at my job. I work for the accessibility department at the university, and my overall job is just helping disabled students in any way I can.

I tried my best to find my NOC code online, but I couldn't find it. Any help would be appreciated! Let me know if you need more information.

Hello, everyone! I hope you're all doing well.

I wanted your advice. I am feeling really down but instead of staying down I'd like to fight to improve my odds.

I got my PGWP in late 2023 and now my PGWP is set to expire in December of this year. I tried my best to secure a NOC job but couldn't. I graduated in 2023 with a Software Engineering bachelor's degree. The tech industry being shit didn't help. I've been working a dead-end notetaker job at my university to earn somewhat of a living. I have been living in Montreal this whole time.

I'm aware of the following options I can take to improve my odds of getting PR:

• Leave Canada and get one year of foreign experience in a NOC field.
  • I could definitely work for one year outside and apply for Express Entry.
• Learn French and apply through any French PR programs.
  • I am already trying to learn French, but I am not sure how long it will take to reach a level where it might help with PR.

I would love to know what other options are available to me. Thank you for any help you can provide.

By the way, just out of curiosity, is there anyone else here who felt like they wasted their PGWP? I am curious to hear your story on how you did or did not turn things around at the last moment.
