Study and Work in Canada

Start Your Free Assessment

Obtaining a Canadian degree is an improvement to anyone’s education, and as a foreigner, it can increase your chances of becoming a Canadian permanent resident.

At a glance

  • You can work part-time (20 h/week) while studying
  • A Canadian credential improves your chances of Express Entry or a job offer
  • Graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
  • A spouse’s open work permit is limited to certain programs — 16+ month master’s, doctoral, or select professional programs

However, you must consider that it requires a financial investment. You will need to pay for immigration application processes, such as a study permit, a visa, tuition fees for a college or course, and living expenses.

This may seem like too much at once, but with sacrifice and perseverance, you can complete your studies. Once you obtain a Canadian educational certificate, it will be easier to get a good job and become a Canadian permanent resident.

How to Apply to Study and Work in Canada? This Is What You Need to Get Started

First of all, you will need to decide where you want to study. Our allied company Studyvantage can help you choose from a wide range of excellent academic options from its partner educational institutions.

If you are more proficient in French than English, then Quebec, Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick might be better options. If you are more proficient in English, all provinces are available to you.

After choosing the province, you must look for the university or institution offering the program that best suits you. Read the requirements they ask for, gather your documentation, and then apply. At this stage of the process, an immigration status is not required. You will apply as an international student.

If the institution accepts you, you will receive a letter of acceptance. In addition to your passport and the forms required by the Canadian government, a letter of acceptance is the most valuable document needed to apply for a study permit.

You will need to apply for a study permit. Depending on the country you come from, you will need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization.

Take the time to understand the application process. Read the requirements and the steps involved. Make a list of the things you don’t understand. After some research, if you still have the same questions, contact an Immigration Consultant and book a consultation. Purchasing this type of service will give you an hour of questions and answers with an expert to help you understand the process and your new status while living in Canada.

If you would like complete guidance in this process, our allied company, Studyvantage, can help you.

It is essential to budget for your living expenses, taking into account rent, essential services, food, transportation, and phone costs. By doing so, you will save time and gain a better picture of real life in Canada.

Studying in Canada increases your chances of qualifying for an Express Entry program or obtaining a job offer from a Canadian employer. You can even apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).

Depending on your program, your spouse or common-law partner may be able to apply for an open work permit based on your study permit. Since January 2025, this is limited to spouses of students in master’s programs of 16 months or longer, doctoral programs, or select professional and eligible programs — not every study permit qualifies, so it’s worth confirming eligibility for your specific program.

Think about the future and start making your life plan. Make decisions that will bring you incredible long-term benefits.
