Many Provincial Nomination Programs (PNPs) and other immigration programs encourage international students to stay in Canada after their studies are completed.
After completing your Canadian studies, Canada has provided ways to encourage you stay, gain work experience, or otherwise contribute to Canada’s economy and culture. Here are some programs that can allow you turn your study permit into a work permit or even permanent residence:
- Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP)
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- Quebec Experience Class (PEQ)
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)
