Exciting news for international students! Recent changes to Canada’s immigration system now allow those studying in the education field to make a smooth transition from temporary to permanent residency.

If you’re a post-secondary student aiming for a career in education, you can take advantage of these opportunities. You can study an education program, get a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), and gain valuable work experience in Canada.

Take Taima, for example. After completing her diploma in Early Childhood Education, she applies for a PGWP and gains critical experience that boosts her chances in the Express Entry immigration system. With her hard work and qualifications, she’s well on her way to receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency!

If you're thinking about studying in Canada, make sure to choose a program from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) to be eligible for a PGWP. And keep in mind, fields of study can influence your immigration pathway!
