Canada’s PR Not Guaranteed for International Students Despite Pathways
United kingdom, United state
This year has brought changes to studying in Canada as a foreign student, highlighting that permanent residence (PR) is not guaranteed. Graduates from Canadian Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) face multiple hurdles to obtaining PR.
They need work experience, often through a Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), and must apply for PR programs like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).
New prioritization in the Express Entry system favours candidates in specific sectors or with French language skills. International graduates should align their qualifications with in-demand professions and explore provincial programs to increase their PR chances.
