Frequently asked questions

Can I get permanent residency after studying in Canada?

Yes. Most graduates from eligible Canadian institutions can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) for up to 3 years. Working in Canada gives you Canadian Experience Class (CEC) points for Express Entry, one of the fastest PR pathways.

What is the PGWP?

The Post-Graduation Work Permit lets international graduates work for any employer in Canada for a duration equal to the length of their program (up to 3 years for programs 2+ years long).

What scores do I need to apply to Canadian universities?

Most universities require IELTS 6.5+ or TOEFL iBT 90+. For competitive programs, aim for IELTS 7.0 or TOEFL 100+. GRE/GMAT is required for some business and engineering programs.
