The country has a reputation for being a desirable place to study for international students. Infact, a recent survey noted Canada’s reputation for safety and stability as a major deciding factor for choosing to study.

Choosing the best university programs, exploring scholarships, etc. is just one aspect of researching popular study abroad destinations like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, the USA, France, Germany, Poland, Malta, and Switzerland

With many immigration options for international students now open, interested candidates are most likely to get their choice of the study course and eventually, qualify for permanent residency status in Canada.  

Canadian Immigration Options for International Students 

Work-study visas are an excellent way to retain foreign skilled talent and also let them gain some local work experience. This is a great way to qualify for immigration, say permanent residence visas under the points-based immigration system

Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program is one of the most popular immigration options for international students. It allows them to gain work experience and have a better chance at qualifying for permanent residency, especially through the Canadian Experience Class under Express Entry. 

The Provincial Nominee Program is another significant immigration program for international students. There are dedicated provincial immigration streams from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Ontario that nominate international student graduates to apply for provincial nominations. 

If you are in the Express Entry pool already, you may be invited to apply for a provincial nomination. Then if you get the nomination, it will mean you get 600 points added to your score and you will be able to apply for immigration as a PNP candidate!

Take this free assessment online to determine your eligibility for immigration.
