1) Why many people use study in Canada as a possible immigration pathway

• 1) Why many people use study in Canada as a possible immigration pathway Studying in Canada can be a long-term pathway that may help a student build toward future immigration options.
• A Canadian education can help a student gain a recognized credential, become eligible for certain work opportunities during or after study, and in some cases later qualify for permanent residence through federal or provincial immigration programs.
• However, studying in Canada does not automatically lead to permanent residence.
• A student must still meet school admission requirements, study permit requirements, post-graduation work permit rules where applicable, and later the requirements of any immigration program they wish to use.
• In most cases, a person must first be accepted by a designated learning institution before applying for a study permit.
• Depending on the case, the applicant may also need a provincial or territorial attestation letter, or in Quebec a CAQ.

• A more practical planning order is: • Choose a target occupation or employment sector.
• • Choose a study program that supports that occupation.
• • Choose a public university or public college that offers that program.
