If you want to accept education in Canada and have a permanent residence there, it is better to do the following steps:
A detailed Plan
First, it is better to research the field of study you want to continue in Canada and find the necessary training program.
Apply to one of the educational institutions approved by Immigration Canada
After you have chosen your field of study, send your resume and required documents to one of the educational institutions approved by the Canadian Immigration Department. After you receive an Acceptance Letter from the designated institution, you must apply for study admission to the Canadian government. This study permit is a document that all people need to legally study as a student in Canada and obtain residency there.
Investigating more suitable Options for Immigration
After you finish your studies in Canada, you can enter the Canadian labor market and gain professional work experience, stay in Canada and get permanent residence there.
Benefits of Admission to study in Canada
Canada has made it easier for international students to travel and receive education in its country. So that you can enroll and go through the mentioned steps online, study in educational institutions approved by the Immigration Department, and still have access to the same benefits of being in Canada. One of the reasons for this policy is that Canada allows new non-Canadian students to start online programs at Canadian educational institutions and still be eligible for a post-graduation work permit. The purpose of this temporary policy is to provide more flexibility to students due to the global spread of the coronavirus.
According to the policies set for Immigrants, Refugees, and Canadian Citizenship, students can complete their study in educational institutions approved by the Canadian Immigration Department online and be eligible for PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit) to obtain a work permit as well.
Currently, online education in Canada is more affordable than in countries such as the United States of America, Great Britain, Europe, and Australia; this is why a PGWP policy allows you to save money while living in your home country.
By obtaining a work permit in Canada, you can work full-time or part-time for 20 hours a week. If you are married, your spouse will be eligible for an independent work permit from any Canadian employer during and after your studies. You can also bring your children to Canada to continue their education in one of Canada’s public schools without a degree. After graduation, the degree you receive from Canadian universities will be recognized and respected by all Canadian employers and government officials. This degree allows you to enter the Canadian labor market and get even more privileges under the title of immigration programs to other provinces.
Canadian Universities and Colleges
The educational institutions approved by the Immigration Department- Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs)- help students to study and stay in Canada. The list of DLIs, according to IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada), is constantly growing. Therefore, it is better to go to the official website of Canada after choosing the desired educational institution and make sure that the university you want to enroll in is approved and authorized by IRCC.
Ontario and Quebec are the largest provinces in Canada in terms of population and have the most institutions, with approximately 1000 educational institutions. If you want to accept education in bachelor’s, master’s, and Ph.D. degrees, you should know that Canada has about 100 universities in these fields, among which we mention these universities:
- Dalhousie University
- McGill University
- McMaster University
- Queen’s University
- Simon Fraser University
- University of Alberta
- University of British Columbia
- University of Calgary
- University of Montreal
- University of Ottawa
- University of Toronto
- University of Waterloo
Because Canada promotes equality in its education system, universities across Canada, plus 150 technical and vocational colleges, offer high-quality education. While universities specialize in providing theoretical knowledge and professional training in some occupations (such as medicine, engineering, and law), community colleges also offer more technical and practical training to students to quickly enter the job market; As a result, the programs and practical training of the college can cause the students to enter into the job market as soon as possible.
Study Methods to obtain permanent residence in Canada
Students who complete their undergraduate studies in Canada have many opportunities to extend their stay and eventually convert it into permanent residence in Canada. One of the ways to get permanent residence in Canada is to study in educational institutions approved by the Canadian Immigration Department. After completing your training course in Canada, you can work in Canada for a maximum of 3 years by obtaining a work permit, like PGWP, and also look for ways to get permanent residence in that country through the federal and provincial permanent residence. Some methods of obtaining permanent residence are:
Express Entry
One of the most prominent ways to pursue permanent residency is to submit an Express Entry profile. Express Entry is the primary method by which Canada processes immigration applications. This system will assign a higher rank to young candidates who have education and work experience in Canada and are fully fluent in English or French. Every year, tens of thousands of qualified international students and temporary workers can participate in the popular CEC (Canadian Experience Class) through Express Entry.
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)
The PNP allows provinces and territories across Canada to identify immigrant students and workers who meet their local economic needs.
Quebec
Quebec is Canada’s second-largest province, and the city of Montreal is a popular destination for students. This state operates its immigration system with different programs than those offered by the federal government and the PNP. Quebec also encourages students to obtain permanent residency.
