You are already well informed. Just get good score from IELTS and you have better chance.

Are you considering the Express Entry system? If so, the type of work permit won't matter.

Skyworks Solutions ?project-K OP Apr 15

Can you please elaborate more I just started researching about this pr All I know as of know is Express entry lottery with that crs score Is there any other way ?

Automattic oerA9FUp Apr 15

Yeah, Express Entry is the easiest path to PR right now. Since you don't have "Canadian" work experience, your options are to either apply as a "Federal Skilled Worker" directly or, depending on the province where you'll be moving, apply for a PNP (Provincial Nominee Program) and use the extra points for your draw. Since you mentioned you already get 650 points, I would apply directly via the FSW program, and wouldn't worry about anything else. You'll get an invitation to apply for PR in the next round easily with that amount of points. It's a lot to take in, I know. IRCC also responds to their Twitter/X messages pretty quickly if you want to confirm the work permit situation.

Yes you have good profile. Closed work permit wont be a concern. Try scoring 8777 in IELTS that will boost your score and check CRS score with all your details. Currently draw range is bit high but if you are somewhere around 480-520 you can get the invitation soon. I would personally suggest you have atleast 1 year of Canadian experience as that will also help you score more CRS score. Cana

I am getting around 650 if I add offer letter of my job but I am not sure if I can add closed work permit offer as a offer letter

Oracle _hello91_ Apr 15

how did you get 650? you must have answered Yes for if you have valid job offer from LMIA. I suggest consulting any good lawyer for the same but yeah anything above 500 your are good to go soon.
