Work in Canada
Studying and working in Canada are major advantages when it comes to obtaining Canadian Permanent Residence.
One of the major advantages of studying in Canada is that international students with a valid Canadian Study Permit may be eligible to work (up to 24 hours per week during regular academic sessions, and full-time during scheduled breaks, such as the winter and summer holidays or spring break) for an employer outside the campus of the educational institution where he/she is registered.
After completing your studies in Canada, you have the opportunity to gain Canadian work experience by applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). This permit may enable you to work in Canada for up to three years, depending on your program.
The work experience you accumulate during your PGWP can greatly enhance your chances of applying for Canadian Permanent Residence, especially through the Canadian Experience Class and certain Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams.
Work permits
Canada offers three primary work permit programs:
Work permit: Applying from outside CanadaPGWP
Once you've finished your education in Canada, you can acquire Canadian work experience applying for a Post-Graduation Permit (PGWP). Depending on your academic program, this permit may allow you to work in Canada for up to three years. The experience you gain while on a PGWP can be beneficial for your application for Canadian Permanent Residence, particularly through the Canadian Experience Class and specific Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams.
TFWP
This program necessitates a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for foreign workers seeking a work permit. The LMIA helps employers prove to the Canadian government that hiring a foreign worker will not adversely impact the local workforce. The federal department of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) ensures that the employment of foreign workers does not displace Canadian workers or drive down their wages.
IMP
This program allows foreign nationals to obtain a work permit without the need for an LMIA.
