If you are already in Canada and are considering the possibility of enrolling in an educational institution with further change of status to a Study Permit, there will be a separate agreement for an individual range of immigration and academic services at a specific price depending on your case.

Benefits of a Student Path to Immigrate to Canada

Higher education in Canada is considered to be among the top quality in the world for its development and safety. The government is interested in students who, after graduation, can stay in the country and contribute to the economy. That is why university graduates have the opportunity to get PR in Canada, and in the future, citizenship.

The Student Immigration Path Consists of Several Stages:

  • choice of program and admission to a Canadian university;
  • obtaining a visa and study permit;
  • obtaining a Canadian diploma and a PGWP work permit;
  • employment.

What should a recent graduate from a Canadian university do next to immigrate? 

There are a few different options to consider. For example, many are interested in applying for provincial immigration programs or gaining work experience in a field that meets NOC 2021 levels 0,1,2,3 for further PR applications through Express Entry. 

If you work with the Marcus Canada immigration agency, you will have a step-by-step strategy for your immigration after graduation from a Canadian college or university.

Canada or USA: Why do Many Choose Canada for Education? 

The main benefit of studying in Canada is the cost. For example, in the province of Ontario, a college education costs on average $12,000 CAD per year. In the US, the cost of educations begins at $26,000 USD per year. Additionally, these two countries are not inferior to each other in terms of the quality of education. 

For many students, the opportunity to work while studying is important. In Canada, one has such opportunity and can work up to 20 hours a week or full-time off-campus. For some categories of students, the government offers an increase in working hours. In the US, students can work up to 20 hours a week and only on campus.

Another advantage of studying in Canada is an open work permit for PGWP graduates, which is issued for a period equal to the duration of the program at the university or 3 years if the study lasted 2+ years. In the US, you get a work permit for 2 years, and only if you found a job and signed a contract in your final year of study.

After receiving the PGWP, graduates of a Canadian university can work for 1-2 years and apply for permanent residence in Canada. Also, since Canadian market welcomes specialists with local education, work experience, and sufficient level of English, many work places will be interested to hiring the student soon after graduation. Applying for citizenship would be the next step to becoming a Canadian citizen. 

What Do I Need to Study in Canada?

To enroll in a Canadian university, you need a high school diploma and an English language certificate, such as IELTS. Different programs may require a different level of English (such as a minimum of 6.0 within each category (Writing, Reading, Speaking and Listening). Certain programs in Canadian universities require a statement of interest and a portfolio for admission. In most cases, this information is available on the program’s website, so you may do your research prior to give yourself more time to prepare. 

To study in Canada, you need a Study Permit and a Visa: 

A Study Permit can be renewed without leaving Canada, so you can continue your studies if you want to study for a bachelor’s or master’s degree after college.

The study permit has no age restrictions, which gives the right to anyone to immigrate even at retirement age. Also, studying at Canadian college or university assures you with health insurance. In some cases, a study visa may allow the student to bring their family with him, in particular, a husband or wife, and even a child. 

However, there are several nuances to consider when obtaining a Study Permit for adult students, as you need to choose the right study program to justify your decision to study in Canada to a visa officer and not be refused.

What are the Prospects for Graduates of Canadian Universities? 

After graduation from a Canadian college or university, a graduate receives a Post Graduate Work Permit, which replaces a student visa to Canada. One year after employment, you can take part in the Canadian Experience Class program.

Usually, after graduation, graduates quickly find a job, some start working during their studies and then continue with the same employer. Schools can help graduates find jobs by providing recommendations and referrals to companies that need employees.

While studying in Canada, the student gains a proper understanding of the current labour market and the practical skills needed when searching for the desired position. Additionally, educational institutions teach their students how to write outstanding resumes, show up-to-date and modern job search tools, and assisted with advice on how to behave during an interview with their professors and guest speakers. 

Is Education in Canada Worth It? 

One can answer this question by considering their possibilities, opportunities, and goals, so it is a highly personal decision. Also, there is no such thing as free education in Canada (both local students and foreigners pay for their studies). Scholarships in Canadian universities are usually one-time based and most often serve as a deposit for tuition fees for the next semester. 

But, there is a huge advantage to Canadian learning! Unlike many countries, in Canada, you can recover up to 75% of your study costs in the form of a tax refund. This can be done after graduation, once you are employed and filed a tax return.

And of course, studying in Canada is a good chance to immigrate through the student pathway. With a Canadian diploma, you can find a job not only in Canada but in any country in the world!
