WORK WHILE STUDYING IN CANADA

​

For those who need additional funds or wish to accrue job experience while studying in Canada, it may be possible to work at the same time.

STAYING IN CANADA AFTER GRADUATION

STUDENT TO PERMANENT RESIDENT

​

​

Many students choose to immigrate permanently to Canada after having studied here. Canada provides ways to encourage you to stay, gain work experience, and contribute to Canada's economy and culture. There are Permanent Resident programs that can help you stay here permanently.

We work with you to ensure that you are meeting the conditions of your study permit while you’re in Canada, and we help you transition to a work permit, and to permanent residency.
