Work or Live in Canada after your Studies

Immigration strategies to maximize the chances of getting your permanent residency as a worker
Our licensed immigration consultants can expertly guide you through proven strategies, from program selection to PR application.
Strategies for working and living in Canada after your studies
Avoid shortcuts and one-size-fits-all solutions. Our strategies ensure a legitimate and successful path to obtaining your work permit or permanent residence status.
Step 1: Explore post-graduation work opportunities
We start by exploring post-study work options available to international students in Canada. Learn about the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and how it can facilitate your transition from student to worker.
Step 2: Apply for your Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
Receive guidance on applying for the PGWP to gain Canadian work experience after completing your studies. Our work permit consultants will assist you in preparing the necessary documentation and ensure that your application meets the requirements set by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Step 3: Gain Canadian work experience
Maximize your chances of getting permanent residency by gaining Canadian work experience. We'll help you understand job requirements in relation to your immigration goals.
Step 4: Explore pathways to permanent residency
Once you’ve gained Canadian work experience, our consultants can guide you through the various pathways to permanent residency. We'll help you understand the eligibility criteria and application process for programs such as the Express Entry system, Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), and other immigration streams offered by IRCC.

Frequently asked questions about the Canada study permit to permanent resident status pathway

Do you have a question related to obtaining a Canada student visa, work permit, or PR status? If you don’t see your question below, contact us directly for personalized assistance.

1. What are the eligibility requirements for the PGWP?
To be eligible for the PGWP, you must hold a valid study permit when applying and have completed a minimum 8-month long full-time program at a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada. You must apply for your PGWP within 180 days of receiving your final marks.
2. How do I apply for permanent residency after gaining work experience through the PGWP?
After gaining your work experience through the PGWP, you can apply for permanent residency through programs like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under the Express Entry system.
3. What if I don’t meet the eligibility requirements for permanent residency after my Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) expires?
We strongly recommend PGWP holders to seek professional advice early on, rather than waiting until their PGWP expires. If you don’t meet the PR eligibility requirements after your PGWP expires, you may need to explore other legal pathways to remain in Canada.
