Canada has extended the duration of its one-year post-study work visa to two years, allowing graduates to get significant job experience in Canada and eventually apply for permanent residency.
To draw in and keep talented graduates and support Canada's diverse workforce, the government of Canada has decided to double the duration of post-study work permits from 18 months to two years.
Foreign students studying in Canada can gain significant work experience through Post-Study Work Permits (PSWP), essential for gaining permanent residency and making a name for themselves in the Canadian workforce. Canada is now a desirable location for overseas students, thanks to a two-year extension that has improved these chances even more.
To provide relief, Ministers Denica Faith and Mark Miller have announced an extension for almost 6,700 international students whose permits are about to expire. They did this in recognition of their invaluable contributions to the healthcare, construction, and hospitality industries.
Extended Post-Study Work Permits: These permits provide graduates with stability and security, ease the transition to permanent residency, draw in skilled labour, encourage workforce expansion and continuity, and contribute to Canada's vibrant and diverse culture. In addition to promoting economic growth and drawing in international students, this strategy also makes it easier to go from temporary work permits to permanent residence.
The province of Manitoba has
approved the extension, recognizing the important contribution that foreign
students make to the community and economy there, especially in fields like
construction and healthcare that are experiencing rapid expansion.
The goal of the policy reform is to
address the requirements of students, assure workforce continuity, and foster
economic growth. It has the support of stakeholders such as employers,
educational institutions, and community organizations.
An important step toward assisting international students and acknowledging their contributions to the economy and society has been taken by Canada's immigration policy with the extension of post-study employment permits. The workforce and multiculturalism of Canada are predicted to benefit from this policy change.
