Recently, the Canadian Immigration Agency issued a new rule for experience immigration, which clearly states that international students can obtain a three-year work permit after completing two years of full-time studies in Canada. After accumulating one year of work experience, they are eligible to apply for experience immigration.

The work area is not limited to the major you studied. Even if you graduate from accounting and work in a non-accounting position, you can apply for immigration. Immigration applications do not require employer guarantees. You only need to submit tax proof and job proof for ongoing tax payments to start the application process. However, applicants need to pass the IELTS test related to immigration, usually the score is 7 points, which is not difficult for international students who have been studying in Canada for a long time. Master students can choose to choose the Canadian Provincial Immigration Program. The main purpose of this policy is to attract high-level international talents trained by Canadian higher education, so that they can start their careers in Canada, and thus enhance the competitiveness of Canadian companies in the international market.

The government's policy changes were mainly due to the fact that those who had previously applied for Canadian investment immigration did not bring a large number of jobs to local residents as the government expected. Therefore, the Canadian government's adjusted policies will be more conducive to the conversion of people with work visas to permanent residents and international students to permanent residents, and increasingly tend to encourage international students who have completed their studies in Canada to immigrate.

Study Abroad Advisors pointed out that only students who have completed their studies in Canada can better integrate into their local life and work, and the knowledge they have learned can be perfectly matched with Canadian career needs. Therefore, this situation can be avoided. For example, due to the lack of Canadian study background, it is difficult for Chinese civil engineering doctors to join local industry associations, and ultimately they can only engage in careers such as taxi drivers.
