Study in Canada, with a plan to stay.
College and university routes with the Post-Graduation Work Permit as the bridge to permanent residence — but programme eligibility now matters more than it used to.
Your route from study to permanent residence.
- 01SP
Study permit
Programme at a designated learning institution, with a provincial attestation letter.
- 02PGWP
Post-Graduation Work Permit
Open work permit if the programme is PGWP-eligible.
- 03EE · PNP
Express Entry or provincial nomination
Canadian Experience Class or a provincial stream.
- 04PR
Permanent residence
Then citizenship after the physical-presence requirement.
Not every programme leads to a PGWP any more, so programme eligibility is checked before you apply.
Rules change often. We confirm the current requirements for your case at assessment.
The essentials for Canada.

Provincial attestation letter now required for most applicants
Each province has a quota of study permits. After you accept an offer, your institution requests a provincial attestation letter (PAL) that you include with your study permit application.
Guaranteed Investment Certificate is the standard funds route
A GIC holds your first year's living costs in a Canadian bank and pays it back to you in instalments after you arrive. It is the clearest way to prove living-cost funds.
PGWP eligibility depends on the programme, not just the institution
Even at a good college, some programmes do not lead to a post-graduation work permit. Field-of-study and language rules apply, so we check before you apply.
The SDS fast-track ended in 2024, so every file is assessed in full
Canada ended the Student Direct Stream in November 2024. Every application now goes through regular processing, so complete, consistent documents matter more than ever.
