I know part of your plan after studying in Canada is to be able to stay back and become a permanent resident/citizen

So, let me tell you the Canadian provinces to go as a student to increase your chances of becoming a permanent resident through provincial nomination

Thread >>>

Studying in Canada gives you additional permanent residence options. But you still have to be strategic about it

That’s what I always say that permanent residency is not automatic. So, you have to play your cards right by knowing your options early enough & positioning yourself.

Saskatchewan:

There is a student category of provincial nomination in Saskatchewan.

Once you graduate from a recognized school in the province and work for a minimum of 6 months, you can use that for nomination for PR.

It’s arrival season for new students in Canada

Congrats to you. And all the best in your programs

These are 15 things to do as a new student in Canada

And if you’re considering applying for admission in Canada, check @UnicollegeLink_ website

Thread>>>unicollegelink.com

1) Obtain your study permit

This is inevitable but many new students do not know. What most (if not all) foreign students have from their country is a temporary resident visa. Study permit is issued upon arrival

Put your documents in your hand luggage to avoid unnecessary delay

In Canada, international students are generally eligible to work 20hours/wk during school period & full-time during breaks

When you arrive in Canada & get your study permit,the info below should be on it

Notify the officer if it’s missing, you need this to get your S.I.N & work

If you are planning to come to Canada as an international student, please gather here for these 5 key things I want to tell you.

Many students get to Canada before they find out, and land in “trouble”. So, I want you to avoid anything that can affect your status here.

Thread>>>

1) Go to a school & do a program that is eligible for Post Grad Work Permit PGWP

We say this all the time, but many people still fall for Agents Isonu, and get into schools that are not eligible for work permit after graduation

They get to Canada before knowing they were misled

1b) To get a PGWP both your school & program must be eligible

Check your school's status at & ask the school if your program is eligible

Avoid Agents saying they will look for jobs & work sponsorship for you after school. It’s NOT easy. Avoid the STRESS!bit.ly/CanadaDLI
