Permanent Resident Options

Permanent Residency for Students

The Post Graduate Work Permit Program allows students who have graduated from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution to gain valuable Canadian work experience. Skilled Canadian work experience gained through the PGWPP helps graduates qualify for permanent residence in Canada through Express Entry 

There are many Canadian immigration options for students who are studying in a program in Canada for at least 2 years. Students with previous experience in Canada are more attractive to Canadian employers, and because of the excellent quality of Canadian schools, Canada is eager to retain foreign students that have graduated from its educational institutions.

There are a number of programs that offer Canada permanent residency for students after they have completed their degree:

Canadian Experience Class

Quebec Experience Class

Provincial Nomination Programs
