After studying in Canada, it's common to want to make Canada your permanent home!
Below we explore the steps in your journey to Permanent Residency: 1. As a student, you may work up to 20 hours per week while studying and you may work full-time on scheduled breaks. Use this time to find work you enjoy while considering what is deemed "skilled" or "unskilled". ~ Insider Scoop: Students are eligible to work 40 hours/week while studying until December 31, 2023, if their Study Permit application for a "Designated Learning Institute" was received by Oct 7, 2022. There are a couple of additional requirements, ask to see if you qualify! ~ 2. Apply for your Post-Graduate Work Permit as soon as you receive your graduate diploma and before your Study Permit expires. Sometimes this is a small, or non-existent, window of time so it is best to prepare to file in advance of your graduation. Ask for a review of your proposed timelines for filing. 3. Work for at least 12 months in a full-time, "skilled" position with your Post-Grad Work Permit. ~ Insider Scoop: On November 16, 2022, Immigration Canada switched their "National Occupation Code" version, qualifying work under the TEER categories. Ask for an assessment whether your work is considered “skilled” to ensure it counts towards your future PR application. ~
