This should help.

There are a few requirements which will give him a priority in his PR application.

1) Language requirements.
2) Experience at work, prior to graduation and ONE Years' after studies, preferably in a field that he graduated with.
3) Level at which he was working, after graduation.
4) Clean and Good References from work place.
5) Letters from Two Highly Placed people here in Canada. Personal References.

Transitioning from a Student Visa to Permanent Residency

Many foreign post-secondary students in Canada would like to continue living and working in the country after they complete their studies. Luckily for them, there are a number of ways to transform a student visa into Permanent Resident (PR) status. With a little motivation and advance planning, they will be able to identify and take steps to apply to the PR program best suited to their education and experience.

International students nearing completion of their studies should not wait until graduation to think about their future immigration goals. The correct path to PR will be determined by a number of factors, such as where they went to school, what level of education they received, and whether or not they have secured employment.

If a student is thinking about staying in Canada after graduation, it is usually prudent to apply for and receive a Post-Graduate Work Permit. This permit can be issued for the length of the program of study that was completed, with a maximum time period of 3 years. In order to be eligible for this temporary permit, students must have studied full-time in Canada in a degree/diploma program that lasted at least 8 months. An application for a Post-Graduate Work Permit must be submitted within 90 days of graduation.

Post-Graduate Work Permits are “open” work permits, meaning that the permit holder will be allowed to fill any job in the Canadian labour market. They will allow the student to find a job and begin supporting themselves as they settle into post-graduation life. Holding a full-time job, preferably in a position classified as ‘skilled’ by the Canadian government, helps to increase the number of program options the student will have when they apply for PR.

Students, especially graduate students, who have specialized in high-demand fields, may find that in certain provinces their applications will be fast-tracked. These fields of work are commonly in areas such as health, science, and engineering.

Regardless of their majors, many students every year choose to remain in Canada to live and work after they complete their studies. An important step to making this transition is being prepared and knowing the full range of options available to them for Canadian Permanent Residency.

They also can apply for a Visa called Bridging Visa, if their application is still in progress and the old Work Permit has expired and they want to stay within Canada or work till all of the formalities get completed and get a PR Visa.

Some of these NOC's have CAPS, which means, when they hit the required number of applicants, they close those NOC's for that year. Then he will have to get all of the papers ready for the next announcement for that NOC. Some times they are closed for good. Sorry about that.

I am not a bearer of good news, but you have options and here are a few.

Simple system for you...

Skill type 0 are all NOC codes that start with 0 - like 0111 or 0213
Skill level A are all NOC codes that don't start with 0 but have 1 as the 2nd digit - like 2143 or 3112
Skill level B are all NOC codes that don't start with 0 but have 2 or 3 as the 2nd digit - like 1231 or 7315

Those above are the occupations that are considered "skilled" under immigration rules.

Those below are considered low-skilled or semi-skilled:

Skill level C are all NOC codes that don't start with 0 but have 4 or 5 as the 2nd digit
Skill level D are all NOC codes that don't start with 0 but have 6 as the 2nd digit

THE RESPONSE IN CAPITALS ARE MINE...:

You can only apply as a skilled worker if your occupation is on the list of 29 or with a job offer. YOUR SKILLS ARE NOT LISTED, SO, YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK.

AND,If you are either not in Canada and get an Arranged Employment Offer, WHICH YOU HAVE, THAT IS GOOD. Or if you are working AND your work permit is valid and will remain valid for the duration of your processing, IF YOU CAN GET THE TEMPORARY WORK PERMIT RENEWED for this ask your employer for a letter from him/her for a renewal.

If you want to apply under CEC, you need 2 year studies and one year of full time skilled work after graduation. TO DO THAT, YOU WILL HAVE TO APPLY FOR A STUDY PERMIT. WHICH YOU CAN DO. (SEE IF THE FEES ARE NOMINAL, WHICH MEANS THE LOWEST) and COMPLETE YOUR DEGREE OR THE DIPLOMA. Go for the diploma.

If you qualify within the next 2 years of your studies for your DEGREE OR DIPLOMA and after that graduation have at least 1950 hours of skilled work HERE IN CANADA in no more than a 2 year period, you could apply under CEC, because now you have a DIPLOMA or a DEGREE.

The third option is getting the employer to sponsor you under PNP.(IT IS THROUGH THE PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM)

Good Luck.
