Is it easy for Canadian students to immigrate? What are the requirements?

Canada's immigration policy is biased towards international students.

International students who want to immigrate to Canada through studying abroad must first obtain a work visa. After meeting certain job requirements, they can apply for a "maple leaf card" in Canada, that is, permanent residency. After becoming a permanent resident, you can apply for naturalization in Canada if you meet certain residence requirements. The specific application steps and conditions are as follows:

Step 1: Apply for studying in Canada.

In China, junior high schools, senior high schools and universities all have the opportunity to apply for studying in Canada, but generally speaking, it is more common for domestic senior high schools to apply for Canadian undergraduate courses. Because students at this stage can be independent in life before they can have a good choice. Undergraduate students in Canadian universities mainly obtain the offer of Canadian universities through direct application or double admission. Direct application needs to meet the requirements of academic performance and language performance, while double admission is relatively simple.

Let me explain what double admission means from specific projects.

Step 2: International students who apply for a work visa after graduation can apply for a work visa as long as they meet the following conditions. The length of time to obtain a work visa is related to the length of courses they have completed.

1. After completing full-time higher education courses in Canada for 8 months to 2 years, you can get a work visa time consistent with the duration of the courses. For example, if the course duration is 1 year, you can get a work visa of 1 year;

2. After completing full-time higher education courses in Canada for more than 2 years, you can get a work visa for up to 3 years;

3. Submit a work visa application within 90 days after graduation. Submit graduation certificate, school letter proving course time and code, copy of passport and valid study permit to the immigration bureau;

4. When submitting the work visa application, the study permit is still valid.

Step 3: Apply for permanent residency in Canada.

International students can apply for permanent residence in Canada through "federal experience immigration" or "provincial nominated immigration". Here are the main application conditions for the "Canadian Experience Class". The main application conditions for "federal experienced immigrants":

● Complete Canadian higher education and obtain a degree, diploma or certificate;

● More than 65,438+0 years working experience in Canada in the 3 years before submitting the application (full-time work or working time is equivalent to full-time);

● Work experience comes from working in three occupational categories in Canada National Occupational Category: NOC skill level 0 (management work), NOC skill level A (professional work) and NOC skill level B (technical work);

● English level meets the requirements of "Canadian Language Benchmark" (CLB) corresponding to various occupations in "Canadian National Occupation Category": NOC 0 and NOC A are required to meet CLB 7；; NOC B requires clb level.

Step 4: Apply for Canadian citizenship.

Permanent residents can apply for Canadian citizenship as long as they have lived in Canada for three years in the five years before applying for naturalization. The time spent studying or working in Canada before becoming a permanent resident can also be converted into naturalization residence time according to 1/2, with a cumulative conversion of up to 365 days.
