Immigration through education

Immigration through education

Education in Canada not only allows you to gain new knowledge and practical skills, improve your English to a fluent level, get to know the country and find new friends and future colleagues but also to build a future pathway to immigration or permanent resident status in Canada.

Upon completion of the program, under certain conditions, you will be eligible to apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit, which is valid for 1 to 3 years and allows you to work in any job without limitations on the number of hours you are allowed to work. Depending on the employment category of the National Occupational Classification, a graduate, after 12 months of continuous full-time work, is eligible to apply for one of the immigration programs for permanent resident status.
Some provinces even have separate provincial immigration programs for recent graduates that do not require a work record but only completion of a specific degree program (most often at the Master's level).

Immigration through education is a long and costly process that takes 3-5 years to obtain PR status. But it also has many advantages, which we talked about earlier.
