CEC Advantages
Because the barriers to entry into the Canadian labor market have increased due to the tightening of LMIA requirements, the Postgraduate Work Permit, given after studying in Canada, is almost the only way for foreigners to find employment in Canada.
The Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Service has a strong will to select immigrants through economic benefits and experience immigration that facilitates the selection of qualified personnel.
It is possible to issue an off-campus work permit while studying, so it is possible to work part-time for less than 20 hours a week even during the school year. (Study and employment can be combined) After graduation, you can legally stay and work for up to 3 years with the post graduate work permit, so there are no status restrictions on employment immediately after graduation.
The spouse of an international student can work legally by issuing an open work permit during the study period, and the foreign student's accompanying children are provided with free Canadian public elementary/middle/high school education regardless of the number of children through the issuance of a study permit.
Studying abroad for more than two years naturally enhances your understanding of local culture and region, builds relationships that require employment, and is relatively easy to adapt to. By improving your English, you have a lot of options for quality careers.

Characteristics of free education for accompanying children when immigrating after studying abroad
Regardless of the number of children, accompanying and free education is possible.
If your spouse leaves the country together, you can apply for a "working visa", and after issuance, you can work legally.
If you do not have an English language score (IELTS/TOEFL), Canadian universities may be able to apply for admission to Canadian universities using a “conditional admission” system, which allows you to enter a university on the condition that you attend a specific English course or language course for a certain period of time. Children can receive free education even during the conditional admission process.
If you have completed a two-year diploma or higher at a Canadian university, you can apply for a Canadian working visa for up to three years, so you can get free education for more than five years.
If you have been issued a permanent resident card, your spouse and accompanying children will also be issued a Canadian permanent resident card and benefit from free education.
Points to note when selecting a region and college
There are some things that people who immigrate to Canada and prepare for free education for their accompanying children must know. The free education of accompanying children is part of the exclusive authority of each local public education office. College officials in Canada do not know much about free education, nor do they do their job. For example, in Toronto, there are Toronto Catholic, York Catholic, Toronto Office of Education, and York Office of Education, which provide free education for accompanying children from the ESL language period attached to the college. You can get it. The York District School District can receive free ESL education from the beginning without any special restrictions, but in the most popular Toronto District School District, if the ESL course for college admission exceeds 4 months, free education for children is not available. Even in the same state, each school district has different regulations, so it is necessary to check in advance. Also, there is no work permit issued during the ESL period.
Not all colleges are eligible for a three-year Post Graduate Work Permit after graduation. In the case of private colleges other than public colleges, only some officially accredited colleges are available after graduation. Post Graduate Work Permit can be issued. In addition, each college has different departments that show strengths in finding employment, so If you choose well, it can naturally lead to permanent residency in the future.
Study and residency at the same time
Immigrating after studying in Canada
Immigration after studying abroad is one of the most popular immigration methods in Canada.
However, due to some foreign agents who recommend schools mainly to places that pay a lot of commission,
It is often difficult to obtain permanent residency in the future.
Just graduating from school in Toronto or Vancouver does not guarantee permanent residency.
Canadian immigration laws may change, but you should read the trends ahead of time and choose where you want to study .
Even if you find a job after studying abroad, there are many cases where you do not meet the scores that can be selected in the Express Entry System.
It may be a reckless decision to plan a permanent residency program after studying abroad with the goal of unconditionally Express Entry.
However, if you are not concerned with EE and aim for permanent residency through PNP state immigration, there are many possibilities.
In Manitoba, you can apply for permanent residency immediately after graduating from school and getting a job.
📝 In Nova Scotia, you can apply for permanent residency if you receive a job offer even while attending school.
📝 After studying in Calgary, Canada's fourth city, you can apply for permanent residency if you work for one year after graduation.
It is reassuring to be with CIC
