How can I get permanent residency in Canada after my master’s?

Question

Anubhooti Dubey · Accepted Answer

After completing your masters in Canada, one of the most common pathways to permanent residency (PR) is through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under the Express Entry system. The CEC program allows international graduates with Canadian work experience to apply for PR.
Typically, you&rsquo;ll need to gain at least one year of full-time skilled work experience in Canada, which you can do through a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) that&rsquo;s valid for up to three years. Once you have that experience, you can create an Express Entry profile, where factors like your education, work experience, and language skills determine your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.
If your CRS score gets to or exceeds the threshold in Express Entry draws, you will be issued an ITA for PR. Additionally, some provinces have PNPs that can get a person a PR faster if their education and work experience are in the province. If you are flexible about settling in a particular province then it is worth exploring its PNPs in particular.

When you have acquired one year of work experience in Canada after completing your master's program, PGWP makes it easy for you to get into Canada and spend three years working and staying in the country, depending on your program. After working, you can apply through the Express Entry system and the Canadian Experience Class stream, which is a preference for those who attained education and work experience within the Canadian borders.
Other than Express Entry, look into PNPs in Ontario, British Columbia, or Alberta-they often have streams for international graduates. You'll also need a good profile to get you there: this means that you have met language requirements and are working in an in-demand occupation in your province of interest. From there, you can either create an Express Entry profile once you have sufficient experience or apply for a PNP, which will place you on the road to PR in Canada.
