Canada PR Tips Every International Student Should Know
Plan Early for PR Success
Many international students plan to think about PR later. However, planning early during your studies can greatly improve your chances of settling in Canada.
Choose a Co-op Program
First of all, a co-op program helps you get real Canadian work experience.
As a result, you may get a job offer soon after graduation.
This helps you qualify faster for Express Entry (CEC) and increases your PR points.
Build Foreign Work Experience
At the same time, foreign work experience also adds valuable PR points.
You can gain this experience while studying full-time, either by:
- Working in your home country during breaks, or
- Working remotely for a foreign employer
This can give you a strong boost in your Express Entry score.
Focus on In-Demand Jobs
Next, working in high-demand occupations can improve your PR chances even with a lower score.
These jobs include healthcare, IT/STEM, trades, agriculture, and education.
Sometimes, you can even choose a job different from your field of study and prepare for it during college breaks.
Network with Alumni
In addition, connecting with alumni can open doors to jobs and referrals.
They can guide you, share real experiences, and connect you with employers.
Over time, a strong network makes job searching much easier.
Learn French
Finally, learning French can be a game-changer for PR.
Even an intermediate level can add 50 extra points and qualify you for special draws with lower cut-offs.
If you start early and practice regularly, learning French becomes much easier and less stressful.
Conclusion
Students who plan early, gain experience, build skills, and stay informed have a much higher chance of getting PR in Canada.
