WHATSAPP
Canada offers a lot of opportunities for international students to work in the country and obtain permanent residence after they complete their graduation. This is exactly the reason why many students choose Canada as their study destination. Canada is keen about retaining the global talents capable of contributing towards its economy and labor force. And as far as a student is concerned, as foreign education is an expensive affair, getting a job immediately after their graduation will be a huge relief for them. Also gaining work experience in Canada will increase their chances of obtaining permanent residence in Canada.
There are three major ways to get a job after pursuing education in Canada.

Under this program, international students who have graduated from a participating Canadian postsecondary institution can earn valuable Canadian work experience. The postgraduate work permit is issued for the length of the study program, the maximum duration being three years. In order to apply for the postgraduate work program, the education program pursued by the student must be of a minimum duration of eight months.

Canadian Experience Class is the fastest and simplest pathway to permanent residence for international students. The international students can earn sufficient work experience (minimum one year) after their studies with a post-graduate work permit, which will make them eligible to enter the Express Entry pool under Canadian Experience Class.
