After completing their studies, students can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) depending on the length of their studies and the course conditions they have studied, and reside in Canada after obtaining work and work experience.
Examples of suitable programs for action after graduation are:

You may be eligible for this program with a work permit after graduation. You can also earn CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) subscores for your Canadian credentials.
-
Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW)
Graduates with a Canadian degree receive more points for this program. They can also earn Comprehensive Rating System (CRS) sub-scores for their Canadian degrees.
-
Federal Skilled Trades (FST)
Graduates using this program can still earn Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) sub-scores for their Canadian degrees.
-
Atlantic Provincial Immigration Programs
