From student to Permanent Resident

International students who complete post-secondary studies in Canada can extend their stay and potentially transition to permanent residence. Many federal and provincial immigration programs prioritize candidates with Canadian education and work experience.

Indeed, by completing your studies in Canada, you're already on your way to achieving your permanent residency goals. A Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) can grant you permission to work in Canada for up to three years, depending on your academic program.

Both Express Entry and provincial immigration streams have become more favorable for international students seeking permanent residency in Canada.

Quebec

As Canada's second-largest province, Quebec has long been a popular choice for international students. With its unique French culture and thriving economy, Quebec offers an enriching experience for students.

Quebec operates its immigration system, distinct from the federal government's programs. This provincial immigration system, known as the Quebec Immigrant Selection Program (QISP), encompasses a range of pathways for international students seeking to settle in the province permanently.
