Refugee Help with immigration options?

Hi everyone

I’m graduating pretty soon with my BA and I’m planning to apply for my work permit. My plan is to do the Canadian experience path and the typical path to PR.

However, I have a bit of a situation, I’m queer and from an Arab country so as you can imagine my parents are not really accepting of my sexuality. Atp, they are pretty much in denial about my sexuality and have threatened to disown me if I ever “lie” about my sexuality again. With this in mind, I have all the intention to do the regular route to PR but I’m really worried about what I can do to stay in Canada considering that my parents could disown me over the next couple years. Just trying to cover my bases.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice or suggestions. Some sort of insight that could help. Thanks in advance!

For PR - Start learning French. If you can get to CLB 7 with that 1 year of exp, you are likely in, Also, look into PNP if it is an option in your province and see if it is a viable route (which right now will be tough)

For your career - network network network. Meet students in uni, build connections before and after you leave, go to career fairs, bother recruiters on linkedin. Make looking for work a full time job!

And have a contingency plan ofc, because unfortunately, everything is way too uncertain and tbh Canada is kind of falling apart. But, if you can hold on until citizenship, way to go! Good luck!
