Hi,

I'm an International Student and I'll study in British Columbia, Canada soon. I will do a Bachelor's Degree there. However, sooner or later, I will also need to do a Master Degree. I can't expect my parents to pay for this too. In my country, everyone can study without paying any tuition that's why I want to do the Master Degree in my home country.


My plan is this:

Go study in Canada for the Bachelor's Degree, then get the work permit and work for one year or so, then apply for Provincial Nominee of BC/Permanent Resident. Then leave Canada for 2 years to do a Master Degree. Then I want to come back to Canada forever!

Would I be allowed to leave Canada for 2 years when I'm a Permanent Resident (not Canadian Citizen, that would take too long)? Or would I lose my Permanent Residency?

I know I still have a long way to go until then, but I think it's important to know that.

Thank you and happy Easter everyone
