Hello everyone, I have a question about the foreigner worker

[jamesdk]

Hi there,
My friend, she comes from france, and she wants to go to the university in vancouver. but before she starts, she wants to work in vancouver for a while to see if she really likes the city and stay there for the next four years. So here is her plan. Could anyone tell me if the plan actually works?

1, get a travel-work permit for 1 year
2, apply the study permit
3, after graduate she might apply a complete work permit again.

The reason she asks is becuz that someone told her, as long as she applies for work permit she couldnt get a study permit anymore. So just wanna comfirm. thank you everyone!

1.  She can apply for an IEC (International Experience Canada) allowing her to work for  1 year in Canada with an open work permit.  See: http://www.international.gc.ca/canada-europa/france/jeunesse-youth/pvt-whp-en.asp  She has to be between 18 and 30.
2.  She can apply for a study permit, but she will pay international fees, about $12K per year and will have to show $10K for living expenses and $2K for transportation.
3.  Once she obtains a study permit, her work permit would no longer be valid.

oh! thank you so much. that's really helpful
That make sense. so is that means she has to submit the bank statement to approve that she is able to pay for all her fees when she applies the Study permit?

Besides, would you please tell me, let's say she's working in vancouver now with her 1 year work permit. is she able to apply for the study permit inside canada? or she has to go back to france to apply for it?

Really appreciate for your help.

Hi there,
I'm back again..
I check canadian immigration official website, and found a program called International Experience Canada (formerly: Youth Mobility Programs)
Unfortunately, it had been closed already. Is there any other 1 year work permit for european so that she could apply for?

Thank you again

I suggest you look at the Paris office web site in January when it re-opens.  It would appear there is a typo on the page as they haven't started issuing 2012 yet.
