Settle in Canada After Graduation - Your Roadmap to PR
For thousands of international students, studying in Canada is more than just earning a degree — it's the first step towards a new life. But if your dream is to settle here permanently, the journey to Permanent Residency (PR) begins much earlier than graduation. In fact, the smartest move is to plan your PR pathway before choosing your program and college.
Why Planning Early Matters?
Planning for PR while selecting your course and institution can make the transition from temporary resident (student visa) to permanent resident much smoother, faster, and stress-free. With the right choice of study program, you can become eligible for PR without needing a job offer or Canadian work experience.
One such excellent option for students with a background in Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Health Sciences is the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP) - International Post-Graduate stream.
