International students graduating from a program of 2 years or
more in length would be eligible for a 2 year work permit after
graduation. However, this is applicable if the student has
studied in cities other than Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal and
is also employed outside this area. In these 3 cities, students
are eligible for a 1 year work permit after graduation. The
experience gained would provide them an opportunity to work in
an international setting and at the same time allow them to earn
the money invested. |

A work Permit allows an eligible visitor to reside and work in
Canada for a limited period of time, and restrictions are
usually placed on the type of employment which can be pursued.
One can apply for a work permit form outside Canada only if one
has a job offer from a Canadian employer though tit will not, by
itself, lead to a Canadian Permanent Resident status. Work
permit is not an immigration document as it does not permit to
live in Canada permanently. In order to live permanently in
Canada you must qualify under an immigration category such as a
Skilled worker. |
