Canadian Immigration Pathways for Intern

Canadian Immigration Pathways for International Students

The number of international students in Canada continues to grow every year. Many of them are able to stay in Canada after finishing their studies.

Last year, Canada admitted more than 400,000 international students. The majority of those students came from France, Nigeria, China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Brazil, Iran, India, and Vietnam.

Diversity of international students is a priority for the Canadian government. In 2019, it launched Building on Success, a new International Education Strategy (IES).

The government has budgeted $147.9 million dollars towards this goal over the next five years.

You can boost your chances of success by working with us through our International Student Program.

Overview

After completing their studies in Canada, most international students go on to apply for a Post-Graduation Work After completing their studies in Canada, most international students go on to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). The PGWP provides international students with an open work permit that enables them to work for any employer, and in any occupation, of their choice. The length of the PGWP corresponds with the length of your studies in Canada, up to a maximum of three years. Among the major benefits of the PGWP is it enables you to get the Canadian work experience that can help make you a more competitive candidate for Canadian immigration. Many Canadian immigration pathways reward candidates with Canadian work experience. If you have yet to begin your studies in Canada, it is very important to ensure you enroll in a program at a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI) that will make you eligible for a PGWP.
