Do you know that you can get a Canadian degree while studying in your home country?

Studying in Canada and then looking for opportunities to work there is not all that complicated as it may seem. There has been a conference on the same recently amongst the research centers and Canadian government. The participants for the seminar were a couple of the best universities in the whole world, Hispanic Toronto and University of Toronto, and more than thirty companies of the country. The discussions were held to relate to the lifestyle and education that Canada has. The Canadian government welcomes all the international students who aspire to study and work there.

Now, Canada allows Students to students to Study from their Home Country and join Post Graduation Program in Canada

The government there has announced more flexibility concerning the international students in Canada which has many benefits. The government shows readiness in assisting educators from Canada. Which would enable them to improve their competitive place abroad through the policies of immigration. The students who go for studies to Canada help inject billions into the Canadian economy. Canada is the most flexible in terms of immigration policies.

The students who have enrolled internationally for the post-secondary institutions would be able to apply now for the prevalent Postgraduate work program irrespective of the completion of the program either online or remotely. It has been recently announced by the immigration minister in Canada that the students would now be able to finish 100% of their gradations from outside Canada and still be entitled to the post-graduate work program. These changes have been made due to the challenges faced by the students regarding travel because of the pandemic.

The new flexibility has been incorporated because of the goals of Canada’s immigration. This clearly states that students who aim to work in Canada after finishing their graduation, will not lose on any opportunity to do so. This in return will help Canada in meeting the crucial needs of its economy today and in the future.

These thoughts clearly pass the message that the government of Canada is ready not only to let the international students or graduates’ study in their country but also want them to stay there if they like.

Do take a look at the eligibility criteria that makes the students eligible for PGWP in Canada:

• Students must enroll themselves in the PGWP- eligible program
• The students who began to study or will begin their studies from 2020 spring to 2021 fall, or the program for whom was already in progress as of March 2020
• Students who hold a study permit or have been approved for a study permit, or those who had applied for the permit before commencing the program that is ultimately approved
• Students who meet all the required criteria for PGWP.

Just last month there was one more announcement made that the former international graduate students for whom PGWP expired or was about to expire could now be eligible to apply for the open work permit which would be valid for eighteen months. Earlier the students could just apply for one work permit if they were under the Postgraduate work program. This could help you save a lot of money as you could work while studying.
