Start your journey as a student in Canada

Students have been flocking to Canada since the 2016 announcement of a student visa that allows them to stay on and work in the country after graduation.

Aside from world-class universities, however, many international students are choosing to move to Canada to study at one of its many prestigious colleges, which give students the chance to acclimatize to the new culture before applying for university.

Ontario alone has more than 20 top colleges – leaders in technology and workforce development – helping students develop skills for careers of tomorrow, with 5,000-plus programs across more than 200 areas of study.

Students can choose anything from a one-year certificate program to career-prepping two and three-year diploma programs – with over 200 full degree programs which don’t only offer the key credentials but also valuable practical experience. Add to that the extensive transfer opportunities which recognize students’ existing credits – and a qualification from a college in Canada really can take you anywhere.

Studying in Canada is one of the best ways to a pathway to permanent residency. By obtaining a Post-graduate work permit (PGWP) and successfully gaining one year of work experience in Canada under NOC 0, A or B, you may qualify to apply for permanent residence through Canadian Experience Class under Express Entry System.
