Here are countries that allow International Students or Workers transition to Permanent Residents (PR) or Citizens.
Thread.
It’s not new that many countries allow international students and workers to transition to permanent residency (PR) or citizenship after fulfilling certain conditions.
Here’s a detailed list of some countries where you can transition and how long it typically takes.
1. Canada 🇨🇦
Transition Path:
Canada has several pathways for international students and workers to transition to permanent residency:
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)
- Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
Time to PR:
- After graduation, students can work for up to 3 years on a PGWP, and after one year of work experience, they can apply for PR through Express Entry.
Time to Citizenship:
- After gaining PR, you must live in Canada for at least 3 out of the next 5 years before applying for citizenship.
Like I always say, not everyone should, have to, or need to go to Canada. But if you want and have to, then act fast, take the necessary steps and do it the legal way.
P.S: The more you wait, the more points you lose if you are going the Express Entry pathway.
So if you are planning to, it’s a good move and just like every worthwhile endeavor, there are some processes and requirements (IELTS/CELPIP inclusive) that you need to plan for.
I get this question a lot on “Student to Citizenship” pathway for Canada so let me break it down.
When you come Study in Canada for:
- 8 months to 1 year program you get a 1 year Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) after school.
- 16 months (1yr 4 months) masters program without any scheduled breaks, you’d get a 3 year PGWP
- For 2+ years program also gets you a 3 year PGWP.
- Once you work in Canada for one year, you become eligible for Permanent Residency via the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Bearing in mind that you must meet other eligibility requirements like:
> Job belonging to the right NOC / Teer
> Having the right Language Proficiency Score
> Evalutaion of your previous degrees outside Canada
> You don't need Proof of funds for the CEC pathway
- Everything being equal and good, you should become a PR between 1 - 2 and half years of completing your education in Canada.
- Once you become a PR, you'd then need to live in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) out of the past five years.
- Also important to note that you can become a PR midway through your studies because many folks automatically choose to study but on getting to Canada realize that based on age, work experience, language proficiency and previous education qualify for Express Entry via the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) Pathway.
- It takes an international student an average of 8yrs to become a Canadian Citizen. Give or take. Took me 6 years & 7 months.
- Canada remains a great destination for international students looking for alternatives. If you are considering studying in Canada, it’s worth it in the end.
