The transition from Canada Student Visa to Canada PR Visa

Overseas students who have received the Letter of Acceptance from a university in Canada must apply for the Canada Student Visa or a Study permit for being able to pursue their overseas studies. The initial steps in immigration process will reveal that it is of paramount importance to prepare an accurate and complete application within the allotted timelines. This is a must for your Canada Student Visa processing to remain on track and for receiving the documents necessary for pursuing the education in Canada.

Immigrant students who possess the Canada Student Visa and obtain a Bachelor’s degree from a Canadian university must immediately apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit. This is because they have only 90 days for applying to this open work permit upon completion of their studies. The application is usually processed within 3 months and you are now eligible to work in Canada, as quoted by the Canadim.

Post-Graduate Work Permit is an open work permit that authorizes fresh graduates from post-secondary schools in Canada to reside and work in Canada for 3 years. Immigrants who acquire skilled work experience in Canada through the Post Graduate Work permit must take the next step in their immigration journey. They can apply for the Canada PR Visa under any one of the immigration streams in Express entry.

Express entry is the system for managing applications for diverse federal economic immigration streams in Canada. Candidates who are eligible for National Skilled Worker Program, National Skill Trades Program or Experience Class Canada are qualified to submit a profile in the Express entry pool.

After entering the pool you will be assigned CRS scores out of total 1200 points. Regularly the candidates with highest rankings are offered the ITAs for Canada Work Visa. Your Canadian education and skilled work experience in Canada must ideally give you enough scores to receive the ITA. Once you receive the ITA you can apply for the Canada PR visa that will be processed within 6 months.
