Permanent residency
If an international student meets the criteria for a particular Canadian immigration program, he or she may apply for permanent residence status in Canada either while or after their studies in Canada have concluded. It is normal practice and permitted by Canadian immigration law for international students to apply for both a Canada study permit and Canadian permanent resident status simultaneously.
Apply to a Canadian university as an international student, renew your study permit, and research employment opportunities during and after your time in school.
