Canada can boost the immigration of international students by allowing the provinces to nominate more of them through Provincial Nominee Program(PNP), observed the Conference Board of Canada. It reported that PNP is the most common way for the international graduates to become permanent residents in Canada. In their report titled After School: Keeping International Students In Province, the Conference Board of Canada said that an increase in PNP slots for overseas students can make it easier for them to stay in Canada, which can facilitate retention in provinces of study.
The report also highlighted the importance of improved settlement services offered by the provinces to help overseas students seeking their permanent residence in Canada. The Conference Board of Canada observed, “The post-study period can be precarious. International students are navigating the transition to the labour market and the immigration system without access to federally-funded settlement services. Provinces can boost retention by ensuring that international students get support from their post-secondary institution and from provincially funded settlement services. An early investment from provincial governments in the success of international students will help them build a career and community connections, which will ultimately benefit retention.” said the report.
Study in Canada
Three universities in Canada – the University of Toronto (UofT), the University of British Columbia (UBC), and McGill University found their place among the 100 best universities in the world, in ninth annual Best Global Universities ranking. Another 15 Canadian universities were in the top quarter of the 2000 best universities ranked.
Canada is about to set a new record in the number of study permit issued in this year. In the first nine months of this year, 418260 international students have received study permits. If this trend continues, Canada will be issuing 557,680 study permits this year. It means 113,200 study permits, or almost 25.5 per cent more study permits compared to last year.
International students who complete their studies in Canada may apply for a Postgraduation Work Permit, with which, they can earn Canadian work experience. It will help them obtain some extra points while applying for Canada immigration.
