Post study work and stay back in Canada

The high quality education and better standard of living makes Canada one of the hot destinations for international students. Because of this there has been a constant rise in students who are likely to settle in Canada after their education.

The number of students who stay back in Canada after studying has been steadily rising. This is primarily due to the excellence of the Canadian education system and the tremendous opportunities it provides. The fact that a degree from Canada fosters one's chances of staying back in Canada and gaining permanent residence is another prominent factor.

The Post-study work permit allows students to work up to 3 years, the duration differs according to the span of the course. If the course is for one year, then the student can stay in Canada for one year after course completion. If the degree is of 2 years then they can stay up to 3 years. Students have to apply for post study work permit as student visa doesn’t automatically offer the privilege to work and they have to apply before 180 days of course completion. The post-study work allows the students to stay back in Canada as a worker; unlike student visa using this they can work full time up to 3 years.
