2. Factors to consider when studying in Canada.

1, academic performance

You can first look at the known achievements of the school, including international rankings, papers published by the school, research results obtained, and social evaluation. These are reliable information that needs to be accumulated for a long time.

2. Teacher-student ratio

The teacher-student ratio will directly affect the teaching mode and effect. Generally, a high proportion will help teachers control the classroom, stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning in a more free and relaxed atmosphere, and elite education will explore students' potential.

Step 3 collect books

It can directly reflect the scale and achievements of the school, because alumni donation is also an important source of books after the school purchases, and it is also necessary to ensure the subscription of core publications, so that students can find information more conveniently and have a positive impact on their studies.

4. Publish publications

The publications in the school are also one of the important displays of the school's strength. Although most of them are only sold internally, the source of the articles is also the school, which can directly reflect the academic and scientific research strength of students and teachers in the school. After all, the handling of a high-quality article is affected by various aspects.

5. Popular majors

Even a comprehensive university cannot guarantee the all-round development of all disciplines, and there will definitely be high and low. To confirm whether a major is hot or not, we can look at the amount of resources invested by the school, the ranking and reputation of the major, and everyone will have an advantage in entering the hot major.

6. Admission requirements

The entry threshold of schools and majors is also a place that everyone can't ignore. After all, choice is a two-way street. When you compare schools, schools will also screen applicants. Only by meeting the basic requirements can you be qualified to enter the school and start studying.

7. Software services

In addition to hardware inspection, international students should also pay attention to the supporting services provided by the school, including medical services, psychological services and student services, which will have a great impact on students' sense of belonging.

3. Common types of work visas for studying in Canada

I. Signs of graduation works

International students studying in designated institutions of Immigration Canada can apply for a graduation work visa (PGWP) after graduation. The validity period of graduation work visa is long or short. If the project time is less than eight months, it is impossible to successfully apply for a work visa. If the project study time is more than eight months but less than two years, the effective time for applying for a work permit will be the same as the project study time; After studying for more than two years, you can apply for a three-year work permit.

It turns out that Canada can only apply for a graduation work visa once. However, since 2020, the federal government has considered it difficult for many graduate work visa holders to find jobs because of the epidemic, so this year, on June 8, 65438, a new policy was introduced, that is, foreign students whose work visas have expired or will expire soon were allowed to apply for new work visas with the validity period of 18 months! The extension of the work visa this time is an exception, which can be said to be a timely help for the majority of international students.

Second, the internship logo

Studying in Canada, if the school course has CO-OP and needs to be completed before graduation, then you must apply for the corresponding internship visa after obtaining the study visa. Generally speaking, as long as there is a CO-OP project in the school admission notice, the visa officer will sign an internship when entering the country to change the study visa, and the validity period of the internship visa is the same as that of the study visa.

It is worth noting that the work experience gained through internship is not recognized by CEC experienced immigrants under the federal EE, but it meets the requirements of FSW category for work experience.

If an international student is studying in a public school and has a student visa, in this case, the spouse of an international student can apply for a spouse work visa, and the validity period of the work visa is the same as that of an international student; Then, if the other person is not a student visa but a work visa, and is engaged in positions 0, A and B, then as a spouse, you can also apply for a spouse work visa with the same validity as the other person's work visa.

Third, the bridge work signs

To be precise, this is the renewal of the work permit. When the immigration approval time in Canada is too long, many immigrant applicants need to apply for a bridge work visa before the immigration result expires. The bridge work visa can help these applicants who are waiting for PR to continue to work and live legally in Canada.

The basic conditions for applying for a bridge work visa are: the applicant must be in Canada, hold a valid work visa with a validity period of no more than 4 months, and have submitted an immigration application to the Immigration Bureau. The immigration project belongs to provincial nomination, federal fast-track and nursing project. After the approval of the bridge operation permit, it is generally valid for one year.

Fourth, LMIA work logo

LMIA work sign is the most common closed work sign. Simply put, LMIA is a document that is applied by an employer who wants to recruit foreign employees to the Canadian Ministry of Labour and Social Development. After the employer obtains a valid LMIA, eligible foreign employees can apply for a work visa with the LMIA and the labor contract or employment letter provided by the employer. The LMIA work permit requires the applicant to work for the designated employer within the validity period of the work permit, and may not change the work unit.

Seeing this, I believe you have a general understanding of the common types of work visas in Canada and the types of work visas that you can apply for or need to apply for, so that it will not have a major impact on Canada's work life and even immigration!
