I become eligible to apply for PT citizenship at the end of December 2026. However I am a native English speaker and I need to take the 150 hour course ONLINE, my attorney suggested Edpro. And of course there is the threat of rule changes which would effectively push out my application 10 years (I recently got my card). I don’t want to take the course if this happens. I am thinking to wait until the fall (or sooner if I know I can apply in December) and then take the intensive to squeeze it in before application. The Edpro website seems to indicate I could complete in 8 to 9 weeks, so maybe plan on starting early October? Does this make sense? Have others squeezed in their coursework that soon before their application? Edpro has not been helpful and it took them 6months to send me course openings after I submitted their application online… but I assume this should be possible. The other problem is they require payment on signup and then cannot refund.
EduSETPT has a good PLA course.

That timeline will work for EdPro just stay on top of when classes open on their website, send the pre application form on the website, then follow up by WhatsApp 48hrs later since they are slow to respond and classes can fill quickly.
The certificate takes 4-8 weeks to get, so figure that into your timeline. Our class was 13 weeks long.
