Hello friends,
I am a CIDA scholarship holder. I'm studying in Canada now. If I apply for a PR, will there be any conflict? Is it ok with CIDA? Have you seen anyone on that scholarship applying for a PR? If so, have they been successful?
I look forward to your replies.
Very much so. From the manuals
"6.3. CIDA programs
The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) funds a number of scholarship
programs allowing students from developing countries to pursue university-level studies in
Canada for degree-level programs, for research fellowships, or for short-term specialized training.
Students receive bursaries to pursue advanced studies in a number of disciplines where
knowledge gained will benefit their country’s economies. Examples of such disciplines include
management and administration, engineering and technology, agriculture, computer studies,
ocean management and environmental protection, education, health and nutrition.
Scholarships are awarded to deserving students with high academic standings, good motivational
skills, and strong potential for significant future contributions to their country following their course
of study in Canada. Students are carefully chosen based on a competitive process, open only to
those who agree to come to Canada as temporary residents.
Applicants must make a contractual
commitment to CIDA to return to their country of origin upon completion of their study program, so
that they may contribute towards the development of their country.
