Back To School in Canada

• By Russ Wenniger Calgary Immigration Lawyer

Some foreign workers who have had a hard time on
getting work permit may consider Study permit.
This is beneficial to the fact that it can buy a
foreign worker additional time in Canada.

Are you qualified for a study permit?
A would-be international student first of all has
to be accepted into a Canadian post-secondary
institution. The prospective student then has to
convince Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada that he or she has the funds to pay for
the program to study and not the other way around
to remain in Canada.

Can Study Permit Increase Express Entry Points?
Study Permit will somehow increase Express Entry
points depending on circumstances. Older student
might gain Express Entry points for studying in
Canada but may lose points because of age. If
your proposed education is for a short duration
or does not increase your highest level of
education, having this extra credential may not
increase your overall Express Entry points.
5
Will You Qualify for a Post-Graduate Work Permit
Upon Graduation?
Qualifying for a study permit doesn't necessarily
give a post-graduate work permit. If you are
studying ESL or a program that is less than one
academic year, you wont qualify for a
post-graduate work permit. Also, if you have
previously obtained a post-graduate work permit,
you are ineligible for a new PGWP.
6
Does the Expense Worth the Chance of Immigrating
to Canada?
Studying in Canada is somehow expensive. But, if
going back to school could guarantee successful
immigration to Canada it would perhaps be worth
the investment.
