New Pathway for International Students

• A new routine or a pathway to permanent residency for international students that may modify the rules in terms of study permits.
• Presently, international students are expected to leave Canada once their study and work permits are expired. These students also need to provide proof of funds to support themselves in Canada.
• International students must obtain permission from the province, even in Quebec, before getting a study permit. This permission can be obtained by applying for the Quebec Certificate of Selection (CSQ)
• That permission is obtained by applying for a Quebec Certificate of Selection (CSQ) only once the student accepts the study program.
• Around one-third of international students planning to come to Canada apply for permanent residence after Graduation. This actually means these students initially get a study permit to complete their studies and then apply for PGWP if the student gets a job after Graduation. This will help them gain work experience in Canada and later improve their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score to obtain permanent residency using Express Entry.
