  • Proof of financial support for tuition & living expenses

Canada Student Visa

Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)

Work After Studies

Graduates from eligible DLIs can apply for an open work permit valid up to 3 years, based on program length. This valuable Canadian work experience helps qualify for PR pathways.

PR Transition

Work experience gained under PGWP makes students eligible for Express Entry (CEC) and Provincial Nominee Programs, fast-tracking their journey to permanent residency.

Student Direct Stream (SDS)

The SDS is a faster processing option for students from select countries, including India, China, Philippines, Pakistan, and Vietnam. Applicants must meet additional financial and language requirements.
