You may agree with us when we say, students who want to study abroad also want to work and live in the same country, post completing their studies. And, there is nothing wrong with this because this is human nature. The question then is, “Which country is most liveable?”.
There are several countries in the world that provide a better quality of education and life. However, among all these countries Canada is usually the preferred choice of students because it provides a lot of advantages to students, which are not offered by other countries.
Studying in a country like Canada is incredibly easier & affordable in comparison to other predominant western countries. The Canadian colleges and universities provide a range of opportunities to native & international students. Due to such opportunities, thousands of Indian students have already established themselves strongly with native Canadian people.
Apart from the highest quality of education, students who look to move abroad also want a comfortable lifestyle, low tuition fees, global exposure, confident living, and all of these requirements are fulfilled by the Canadian colleges and universities.
Students moving to Canada have a plus point that the pathway to permanent residency becomes extremely easy right after completing their education. Below are some of the main courses that students can pursue to get excellent jobs in Canada. Such courses make the road to PR easier and less time-consuming.
In the top universities ranking 2021, Canada has 10 out of 250 universities globally. The quality of education provided here is globally recognized by the leading academics & educators in the world. With the fascinating element of multicultural diversity and comfortable quality of life, pursuing higher education in Canada provides a great future for students.

Canada provides the students with an excellent learning environment that gives them the confidence to dream & achieve big in life. The budget concern is not a problem as several colleges have low tuition fees and there are plenty of scholarship opportunities available for deserving students.
From big cities to small villages, Canada is one of the safest countries that provides ease of life, plenty of work opportunities and a multi-cultural environment.

Working during studies in Canada is one of the main advantages of opting to study in Canada for students as it not only helps the international students to support themselves financially but also allows them to meet new people, build their network and get to know Canadian work culture.
Most international students who are enrolled with Designated Learning Institutions (DLI) and have a valid Study Permit are eligible to work anywhere in Canada for any employer without the need for a work permit, during the duration of a study visa. Students can work up to 20 hours per week and full time during the school holidays and in Summer/Winter/Spring breaks or other scheduled breaks.
Normally, your Study Permit will state the conditions of your employment in Canada, and with the help of it, you must first apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) in Canada, before you can start working in Canada.
If you have completed your studies and want to work in Canada, you can apply for the Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) within 180 days of receiving written confirmation of finishing your course. A PGWP allows the student to work for any employer in Canada and the validity of the work permit depends on the duration of the course you finished.
| Duration of Course | Duration of Work Permit |
|---|---|
| 8 months and less | Not eligible for work |
| 8 to 24 Months | Same as the duration of the course |
| More than 24 Months | Up to 3 years |
Below is the step-by-step process for applying for the study visa:
Within 2 to 3 weeks, Canadian Embassy will approve or reject the application, and you will be notified. As simple and straight-forward as it may look, the entire process from start till the end can get very overwhelming and complex for the students, and so it is advisable to seek help and support from an experienced and professional study abroad consultant, to ensure that the process becomes smooth and hassle-free.

“I heard good things about Taruun from my close friend who came to Canada through him. So I approached him for my case in 2017, while he was leading India Operations of another group at that time. Taruun took my case hands-on and he and his team helped me in getting my PR successfully for Canada in a fair amount of time, considering it was through a PNP program.
He is a professional whom you can trust. He knows his job very well and I would highly recommend Taruun to anyone who is looking for a genuine and expert advice and excellent after sales service.
