Canada offering Permanent Residency Visa and Scholarships to International Students 2018
Canada eases path to permanent residency for international students.
International students studying in Canada may apply for Canadian permanent resident status while studying in Canada or after completing their studies.
The Canadian government has announced changes to its immigration system that it estimates will increase the numbers of international students invited to apply for permanent residency by a third.
These changes will apply to the country’s Express Entry programme, which uses a standardised scoring system to determine which applicants will receive an invitation to apply for permanent residency. Candidates can receive a maximum of 1,200 points and the highest-ranking applicants are selected.
