IRCC in a recent report shared that currently, Canada has 807,750 Canada Study Visa holders as of Dec 31, 2022. Also, did you know that 551,405 applicants from 184 countries received their Canada Study Permit in 2022? As astonishing as it sounds, Canada did break its record of giving Study Visa Approval to such a large number of students. Thus, in such a case you too will wonder, “How can I get Canada PR via the Study Visa route?”.
The above question may seem a bit odd. But when you look at international students’ inflow in Canada and their transitioning from Canada Study visa holders to permanent residents of Canada, you will want to follow the same pathway to sure shot success. Surely, people will argue that the current proposition is a longer route to Canadian permanent residency. However, when we delve deeper into the topic, we will be able to unearth the long-term benefits of taking this secure and yes, a bit longer route.
Firstly, to begin we must look at the past statistical records. Because by doing so we can strongly see a y-o-y rise in Canada Study Visa approvals. The below graph confirms the same.
Looking at the above graph we clearly see a year-on-year (y.o.y) rise in Canada Study Visa holders. Except for 2020, due to the outbreak of covid. However, post covid, the rise in the selection of applicants to study in Canada has been positively tremendous. Thus, this is one of the main reasons why international students all over the world prefer Canada for international education.
Canada is one of the leading overseas education destinations without a doubt. And to understand the demographic inflow of nationalities into the Canadian population we must have a look at the top countries sending international students to Canada.
So, in the ongoing year, looking at the tremendous rise in Study Permit Approvals, applying for a Study Visa for Canada surely is the best career choice to make.
Getting permanent residency in Canada as an international student requires you to clear two stages such as:
If you wish to get a study visa for Canada then you have two options to apply:
Post selecting 1 of the Study Permit pathways for Canada, you must do the following:
Further, IRCC will process your study visa application, and if satisfactory give you a study permit. With this, you can fly to Canada and begin your academic journey at the choice of your Canadian university/college.
One of the perks of getting a study visa apart from being able to work part-time and earn money is the provision of applying for a Post Graduate Work Permit. As per the length of your Canadian study program, you may be eligible for a PGWP such as:
Getting a PGWP post-completion of your study program is very important. Because if you wish to get a Canada PR visa then you must have either Canadian or foreign work experience. Thus, after gaining the required work experience you become eligible to go for phase 2 of getting a Canada PR via the Study Visa route.
The second stage of getting permanent residency in Canada can be a bit tricky. Because there are more than 100+ Canada PR pathways you can choose from. And if you are not from the immigration industry then to narrow down prospectively beneficial PR visa programs can be a tedious task. Also, not to forget, to comply with eligibility criteria, documentation, meeting deadlines etc. All of which can either lead to Canada visa refusal or approval.
So, in such a case even IRCC advises people to seek professional advice from a CICC Licensed Canada Immigration Consultant. As they are authorised, licensed, and regulated by CICC to offer immigration services. As a result, your chances of being cheated on in the name of immigration services are nil.
