Education is another pathway to immigrate to Canada. To qualify for study permit, a student must obtain a Letter of Admission from a designated Learning Institute in Canada. The admission can be for either Undergraduate or Postgraduate Studies. To qualify for study permit, an applicant must show evidence of being able to pay tuition and upkeep in Canada and prove to the immigration officer that he/she intends to leave Canada after their studies. In addition to the Study Permit which would usually be given at the Point of Entry to Canada, students would need a Temporary Resident Visa and/or and eTA (electronic Travel Authorization), depending on their country of citizenship or residence.

Upon graduation, the student becomes eligible to apply for post graduate work permit, which is an open work permit. One year of Canadian work experience in an eligible occupation qualifies the person to apply for permanent residency.
