A study permit is more than a visitor visa to Canada. A Study Permit allows you to study AND work in Canada. You can work up to 20 hours a week outside the campus and 40 hours a week inside the campus. In your holiday time, you can work up to 40 hours outside the campus.

If your program was PGWP-eligible, you can also get a work permit for up to 3 years after you graduate, and this will also add points to your Express Entry CRS score.

It also opens up immigration opportunities through Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class).

This is a chance you don't want to miss. Thousands have immigrated through these pathways. But this is the path you should not tread carelessly. Your study permit application can easily be denied and you will spend loads of time and money on appealing this decision in the Federal Court of Canada.

The officers are looking for consistency and logic when they are scrutinizing a study permit application. The study program should be in line with your previous education and work experience.

However, sometimes you might want to venture in a different direction, and try yourself in something new. We can understand that, especially in the times of shifting job market demands. This can also be done with proper case building and study permit application strategy.
