If you’re an international student planning to study in Canada, there are many things to consider. Among them are the types of study permits available and how to transition from a temporary residence (TR) visa to a student visa to pr.
Study in Australia
Australia is an attractive destination for international students looking to study. Australia’s universities are among the top in the world. Thousands of students choose to come to the country for further education.
Once a student completes studies, he or she may apply for a post-study work visa. This visa will allow the applicant to stay in the country for a period of two to four years. However, if the applicant wishes to stay longer, he or she can apply for permanent residency.
The visa application process begins with a Skills Assessment. This test assesses the applicant’s skills and English language proficiency. There are several tests to choose from, including IELTS, PTE and TOEFL.
Once the Skills Assessment is complete, the applicant must choose a visa category. For example, the Post-Study Work (PSW) visa allows international students to study in Australia.
After completing their studies, students can apply for permanent residence in Australia. There are three main pathways, which all lead to a permanent residency. These include Skilled Migration, Permanent Residency and Employer Nomination Scheme.
Stream for French-speaking recent international graduates from a Canadian institution
If you are an international graduate from a Canadian institution, you are eligible to apply to the French-speaking skilled worker stream. This is a temporary pathway designed to accelerate the trajectory of recent international graduates to permanent residence. You can apply until November 5, 2021.
The Government of Canada values international graduates. They help to counter the ageing demographic and to ensure a strong economy in the long term. Obtaining permanent residency allows the economy to reap the benefits of international expertise.
There is no cap on the number of French-speaking applicants who can apply. Applications are accepted through an online portal. Applicants must have a valid Express Entry number to be considered.
An educational credential assessment is required to qualify. This must be issued by a recognized educational institution in the country you studied in. It must demonstrate that you completed an eligible post-secondary course within four years.
Applicants must also have one year of Canadian work experience in an occupation listed on the essential occupations list. This is equal to 1,560 hours of employment over the last three years.
Transitions from temporary residence (TR) visa to student visa
If you are an international student, you are eligible to apply for the Temporary Resident to Permanent Residence (TR to PR) pathway. The TR to PR path is one of the most common pathways to permanent residency. However, it also has some fairly lenient requirements.
Firstly, there are three primary documents you need. These are your study permit, your work permit and your Temporary Resident Visa. Each of these documents can have different requirements. You should check with your employer to ensure that you have all the required documents.
Secondly, you will need to fill out an application form. This will have specific electronic signature requirements.
Finally, you will need to pay for your application. Applicants who submit their applications by the deadline will be processed. It is important to note that this route will close on November 5, 2021. In addition, IRCC has indicated that all new permanent residents from the TR to PR pathway will be admitted as new permanent residents by the end of 2023.
Study permit options for international students in Canada
If you are planning to study in Canada, you may need a study permit. A study permit allows you to attend a Canadian university, college, or post-secondary institution for up to six months. It also permits you to work off-campus, if you are enrolled in a program that requires you to complete an internship. You may also need an Electronic Travel Authorization, which allows you to travel outside of Canada.
You will need to apply for a study permit before you begin your studies. You can find more information on the process online. The requirements vary by country and location.
Applicants will need to pay a fee to obtain a study permit. You can choose to submit an electronic application or a paper form. Paper applications typically take about twice as long as electronic ones, so be sure to plan accordingly.
You will need to provide your passport, which must be valid for at least six months. Depending on your country, you might also need to provide proof of money for tuition and living expenses.
