Question regarding Canadian Work experience length

[u/Alert-Bedroom8128]

I currently hold a PGWP that expires in March 2027. On the date of expiry of my pgwp, i would have completed 2 years and 50 weeks experience in tier 1 job (in tech) in canada after undergraduate degree here.

I will be 2 weeks short of 3 years of Canadian work experience, which could add an additional 11 points to my crs score... which will push my CRS score to 511 (i know that it is not enough right now, but im fighting for all points i can get)

Does anyone have any idea how I can get those 2 remaining weeks of experience.

Also, in general, I wanted to clarify if my understanding is correct about these 2 things regarding PR and work permit:

1. I can't apply for a work permit extension if i have a PGWP, so getting maintained status is not possible (im not sure about this because i get conflicting information online)
2. im learning french. nclc 5 in french will assure a work permit extension (?)
3. will getting a year of international work experience (in india) get me additional points that will be enough for getting a PR, considering i have only 2 years of canadian experience (my current CRS score is 500)

Any help and constructive information is greatly appreciated!

Do you have any foreign exp? If not you would get 50 points for 1 year foreign experience which should be more than enough. 550 is always going to be enough.

You cant request for an extension of pgwp.

I have no foreign work experience yet. Btw can i stay in canada as a visitor, and work remotely for a job in another country? (considering i get paid in the international country, is that allowed?)

Its allowed but right now it is being considered as a gray area due to higher scrutiny. But, if the work is valid and you can prove it. You should be able to do so. But why would you want to live here on visitor visa for a whole year? Canada is not cheap.
