Canadian PNP Immigration Options for International Students in 2021. Choice Immigration Services

 

If you want to study in one of the provinces in Canada, you better hurry because the deadline for some provinces is coming up.

In 2021, the Canadian government will be re-evaluating their PNP Immigration Program to determine if there are more changes that need to be made or not. This article discusses Canada’s options and what they could do in order to help international students who wish to study in one of the provinces in Canada.

Which province should you choose for studying?

The provinces of Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia have the longest deadlines for international students. Students who wish to study in these two provinces will need to apply sooner than later.

Quebec is the only province that requires a French language skills test for international students who wish to study at universities and colleges. They have made some changes such as reducing wait times from 18 months to 12 months but this deadline still falls before any other provinces which mean if your goal is to study in Quebec, you need to do so before October 2020.

Ontario has the longest deadline and is open to international students without restrictions which mean that they are not required to have a French language skills test or any other requirements for admission into their university system.

British Columbia is also another province worth considering because of the large number of institutions, the number of courses and programs offered as well as their limited deadlines.

The provinces of Alberta, Manitoba or Nova Scotia also have deadlines on international students but they are not considered among the most popular provinces for international students.

What should you do?

If your goal is to study in Quebec, then start the immigration process now as it will be difficult later on down the road; if you want a province with more options but still have a deadline that’s not too far away, Ontario and British Columbia are great choices. You can get in touch with Canada Study Visa Consultants in Edmonton to prepare your application and documents. They will guide you through the whole process and make it easier for you to get approved fast.

What are some best Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) for international students who have studied in that province?

The best Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) for international students who want to study in Canada are the Nova Scotia PNP, Manitoba PNP and Alberta PNP.

If you wish to study in Quebec or Ontario then your only option is through a university that has a contract with an immigration agency such as Study Visa Consultants Edmonton which is a Canadian immigration agency.

If you want to study in British Columbia, then your options are wide open but depending on which province you wish to live and work after graduation will depend on where the best PNP might be for you.

What if I want to stay in Canada after my education is completed?

For students who have completed their education in Canada, you can apply for work permit to get an extended stay in the country. But you need to make sure that your post-graduate work permit is being processed in a timely manner so as not to lose it while waiting for an answer from Immigration Canada.

You only have 90 days to apply for the post-graduation work permit otherwise you will have to apply for a separate Labour Market Impact Assessment which is against the rules.

The post-graduation work permit allows you to stay in Canada and start working up until one year after completion of your studies.

If you are not sure about what is best for you, then it’s worth exploring all options that will be beneficial to you in the long-run.
