STUDY IN CANADA

ONE OF THE BEST SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD IS IN CANADA.

Canadian schools cater to students of diverse interests and backgrounds, from elementary school to universities and colleges, language schools to vocational programmes. Canadian students obtain high-quality, internationally recognised educations that prepare them for future professional endeavours. This is compounded by cheaper tuition fees and living expenditures than in other wealthy countries. In Canada, there are over 300,000 international students, a number that is steadily increasing. You may be eligible to receive a study permit to study in Canada if you have been accepted to a Canadian educational institution. Not only that, but education is a common route to permanent residency in Canada. Continue reading to find out more.

Education as a pathway to Canadian permanent residence

A Canadian post-secondary degree is not only beneficial in terms of education and professional opportunities, but it is also a popular path to permanent residency in Canada.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN CANADA MAY ALSO DO THE FOLLOWING WHILE STUDYING IN THE COUNTRY:

Work up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full-time during the summer;
once the programme is successfully finished, acquire a Post-Graduation Work Permit for the comparable term of the courses, allowing students to stay in Canada for several years before becoming permanent residents;
bring a spouse or common-law partner to Canada on an open full-time work permit, allowing them to work for any business.
bring small children with them to study in Canada at the same rate as Canadians; and
As previously indicated, you can apply for permanent residence in Canada through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), Quebec’s immigration system, or the Express Entry immigration selection system.
