Study Permit
Study in Canada
Canada has an excellent educational system, especially for those looking to pursue higher education as a stepping stone to permanent residency and ultimately citizenship. Canada is proud to be the home of several prestigious universities and colleges that offer a high standard of education, with students coming here to study from all over the world. Becoming a student in Canada is a simple process since most educational institutions do not have an entrance exam, and the admission process becomes easier if you have previous education in your country of origin.
The education pathway to immigration not only provides the Canadian standard qualifications employers are familiar with, but it immerses applicants into the Canadian way of life. This makes it easier for prospective immigrants to adjust to living in Canada.
There are other benefits to the education pathway as well. Students can help pay for their living expenses since foreign students can work for 20 hours each week. Spouses or common-law partners accompanying a student can work full-time. Their work permits are valid for the same period as the student’s study permit.
Moreover, Canada encourages international students to work in the country upon graduation. Its Post Graduate Work Permit allows graduates to work for any Canadian employer based on the duration of their course, to a maximum of three years.
Gaining work experience will help you turn your Study or Post Graduate Work Permit into permanent residency through a variety of immigration programs such as the Canadian Work Experience Class and Provincial Nominee Programs.
Elohim Consulting has helped countless applicants return to school in Canada as a first step towards living and working in the country. Count on us as your partner in navigating the complex process involved in gaining permanent residency through the education pathway.

Study Permit Refusal
If you have already applied for a student visa and were denied, we will appeal the decision using the CAIPS system, which will access your file and see the immigration officer’s comments on why the application was denied, analyze the weaknesses, and take the appropriate measures to eliminate them.
International Student Work Permit
Many international students choose to work while studying in Canada in order to gain more Canadian working experience as well as supplement their income to cover the cost of their education.
