Studying in Canada opens the door to world-class education and new opportunities. Whether you’re pursuing a short-term language course or a long-term post-secondary program, Canada welcomes students from all backgrounds and interests.
Canada’s education system is consistently ranked among the best in the world, providing high-quality instruction that equips international students with the skills and knowledge necessary for their future careers. Studying in Canada isn’t just about education—it can also be the first step toward permanent residency for those who wish to stay after graduation.
The First Step: Choose Your Institution and Secure Admission
The journey to studying in Canada begins with selecting the right institution that aligns with your academic and career goals. At DIVERSA, we help you find the best fit for your education, ensuring it matches your aspirations and provides the foundation you need for success.
Study Permits and Permission to Work
With a study permit, international students can study at designated post-secondary institutions across Canada. Full-time students are also eligible to work part-time off-campus for up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions. This opportunity allows students to:
-
- Gain Canadian work experience.
- Earn extra income while studying.
- Enhance future applications for permanent residence.
The ability to work while studying not only helps financially but also provides invaluable experience that strengthens your career prospects.
Post-Graduate Work Permit: The Bridge to Canadian Work Experience
Upon completing a post-secondary program in Canada, students may be eligible for a Post-Graduate Work Permit. This permit allows graduates to work in Canada for a period equal to the length of their study program, up to three years.
Benefits of the Post-Graduate Work Permit:
- Gain Canadian work experience in your field of study.
- Build skills and network within the Canadian job market.
- A stepping stone for those seeking to apply for permanent residency.
The work experience you gain with this permit can significantly benefit your future immigration applications.
Study Permits for Internships or Co-op Programs
For students enrolled in programs that include internships or co-op placements as a mandatory part of their curriculum, there are specific guidelines regarding work hours.
International students can work up to 50% of the length of their study program during the placement period, provided the field placement is a required component of the program. This allows you to:
- Gain hands-on experience in your field while completing your studies.
- Work in positions directly related to your academic program.
- Enhance your career prospects with Canadian work experience that can benefit future immigration applications.
At DIVERSA, we assist in ensuring that your study permit and work permissions align with your program’s requirements, helping you make the most of your academic and professional experience in Canada.
Why Choose Canada for Your Education?
- World-class institutions offering diverse programs in English and French.
- Work experience opportunities during and after your studies.
- Clear pathways to permanent residency for graduates who wish to make Canada their home.
Let DIVERSA guide you through the process of securing your study permit and help you embark on your educational journey in Canada.
