Hello

I am not a permanent resident yet but I should be eligible to apply as of next January.

On the other hand I was offered a job as independent which I would like to take.

I am though scared of the change and how it can impact my permanent residency and citizenship application and scared to take a risk few months before being eligible for a permanent residency.

I am also scared of losing this opportunity and I do not know if it can happen again.

Do you think moving to independent status is very much risky ?

What would you have done if you were in my situation ?

@Nonono1234 on which basis you have now residency? Without permanent residency you might need to apply for a professional prior to switching status to independent
