CANADA
Canada is one of the most attractive destinations for international students, for reasons including the fact that the country has two official languages, English and French, and the fact that it offers many immigration opportunities for those choosing to acquire or improve a profession in Canada.
Language courses at Canadian schools are excellent and worldwide recognized, but it is important to know that as of June 1, 2014, international language students are not entitled to a work permit.
Only higher, technical or vocational courses at universities and public or private colleges, which have a minimum duration of 6 months, offer the international student eligibility to apply for a work permit with a limit of up to 20 hours per week, during the period of studies and, some of them offer the COOP modality, which is the internship part, during which the student can work for more hours.
The PGWP, which is an open work permit after graduation, is a benefit available only to international students who graduate from universities or public colleges. Students at private colleges are not eligible to apply for the PGWP unless this private college is in the province of Quebec.
The PGWP is important for the student to acquire Canadian work experience valid for immigration.
