APPLYING FOR A CANADA STUDENT VISA
When planning to pursue studies in Canada, obtaining a Canadian study permit, also referred to as a student visa, is a requisite step. These permits enable you to study in Canada and, in some cases, work during your studies.
To apply for a study permit, you must submit a completed application along with any required supporting documents. Your study goals and intentions in Canada will also be assessed during the process.
In addition, under the new system, study permit applicants will now require both a
Letter of Acceptance (LOA) and a
Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) to apply to IRCC for their study permit. In most cases, if you apply without a PAL, your application will be returned with fees. Furthermore, the allocation of permits to each province or territory will now be determined based on their respective populations.

EXPLORING POST-GRADUATION WORK OPPORTUNITIES IN CANADA PGWP
If you're an international student who has recently completed studies at a post-secondary institution in Canada, you might be eligible to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit, commonly referred to as an Open Work Permit. This permit grants them the opportunity to work in Canada for a duration that matches the length of their study program, up to a maximum of three years.
An Open Work Permit provides you with the ability to work in any job without employment conditions, other than the validity of your permit. You are not required to submit a confirmation of job offer when applying for a Post Graduate Work Permit.
