Canada is home to one of the best school systems in the world. Individuals who study in Canada receive quality, internationally-respected education. Not only that, but studying in Canada is also a popular way to secure permanent residence.
There are a range of programs from which international students can apply for permanent immigration, without even obtaining a job offer from a Canadian employer.
In addition, international students in Canada may:
- Work up to 20 hours per week while in school, and on a full-time basis during school breaks.
- Obtain a Post-Graduation Work Permit for the equivalent duration of the studies once the program is successfully completed.
- Bring spouse or common-law partner to Canada on an open full-time work permit.
- Bring minor children to study in Canada.
- Become eligible for Canadian permanent residence.
Many Provincial Nomination Programs (PNPs) and other immigration programs encourage international students to stay in Canada after their studies are completed.
If you have been studying in Canada as an international student, your province may have a PNP category that makes you eligible for fast-track Canadian permanent residence. Some provinces allow international graduates to make an application to their PNP, even if they didn’t study in that province.
A recent report shows that the immigrants with Canadian study and work experience make more money than immigrants who received their education abroad. Studying in Canada before immigrating could fulfill your dream of financial success.
