You could enroll in programs that are eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), allowing you to work in Canada after graduation. Additionally, studying and working in Canada can open pathways for applying for permanent residency, supporting a long-term future here. For those interested in exploring their options, studying in Canada also offers the chance to experience a rich and diverse learning environment, even without the expectation of a PGWP or permanent residency.
These options provide flexibility depending on your goals for studying, working, and potentially staying in Canada. See our options below:*
Study
Consider studying in Canada to embrace the enriching experience of learning in a diverse and vibrant environment, without the focus on a Post-Graduation Work Permit or permanent residency.
Study & Work
International students can qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) if they study in priority fields like healthcare or STEM. New eligibility rules apply after November 1, 2024.
Study, Work & Stay
After studying and working in Canada, you may explore pathways to apply for permanent residency and build a long-term future in Canada.
*Note: On September 18, 2024, Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced updated eligibility criteria for the Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). As of November 1, 2024, applicants for study permits must be enrolled in programs within specific fields that address long-term labour shortages in Canada to qualify for a PGWP after graduation. Before applying or accepting an offer, please check which Sault College programs remain eligible for a PGWP.
