Resideny After Studying

[harith86]

Hi...
I am willing to study in an institute in Ontario, the course that I want to apply to has a duration of about 6 months, after the 6 months, I should get back to my country...
Is there anyway to stay in Canada, instead of getting back? I want to reside in Ontario somehow after I finish the course, please address the available methods that assist me to stay in Canada, because I don't want to get back to my country...
Thank You

First of all i dont think you can get visa by applying for a six months course but anyway answer to this question is simple

Marrying a Canadian national or applying through Ontario national nominee program.

Ontario Nomination Program doesnot applies here.
You need to do atleast 1 Year of MAsters degree for that

Thanks for reply,

I am willing to apply to A1 Global Training Institute that has available opportunities for international students, here's a link: http://www.a1globaltraininginstitute.com/internationalStudents.php

the longest course has a duration of 8 months, I called them myself, and they told me it's so easy to apply online for that course, please offer any suggestions for applying, will it be a good idea to get a visa student when applying for a course of 8 months which is the longest course they have...

Thanks

You would need to find an employer to sponsor you for a work permit while you are taking your course so you can get that arranged before your student permit expires.

It is possible that if you do an 8 month course, you can get an open post grad work permit for 8 months afterwards. That would give you more time to find an employer.

If you get a skilled job on a 2 year work permit, you can apply for permanent residency after you work for the 2 years.

So, we do agree that I can get a student visa for 8 months course in this institute hoping to get a part-time job during my study?

You are not allowed to work part time with your study except on the campus of your institution. If you want to find an employer, you need a student work permit, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-offcampus-who.asp You can not apply for it until after 6 months of study and your study permit will probably be expired before you would even get it. You can read about it at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-offcampus-who.asp If you go to the bottom and look for participating institutions, you will also find that the one you are thinking of is not on the list.

You can look for a job while you study but you can not start until you get your post-grad work permit. Since it would only be valid for 8 months, you will need to convince your employer quickly to apply for a labour market opinion for you so you can get a longer work permit. It would be better for you if you take a 2 year course. Then you can get a student work permit after 6 months, you can work part time during the semester, full time on holidays and with a 2 year course, you get a 3 year post grad work permit. Two years of study and 1 year of skilled work will enable you to apply for permanent residency.

If I extend my study by applying to more courses, and make my student VISA extended to one year or little more, can I apply for work then?
My point is: how long should I study to earn legal job, and then apply for residency?

@ harith86, I dont think your intention to come to Canada is to study, rather you'd like to come here and live indefinately. Correct me if I am wrong. Unfortunately there is no quick way to do this, you can apply as a skilled worker. I would strongly advise you not to sail, swim, fly, or walk at the border and declare asylum, you may end up creating more problems for yourself. Marrying a Canadian for the purpose coming to Canada is just as bad. Feel free to visit this site and it'll give you more information how you can immigrate legally

If you study for 8 months or more, you qualify for a post grad work permit. If you study 8 months up to 2 years, your work permit will be as long as your study time. If you study 2 years or longer, you get the maximum length post grad work permit of 3 years. That should be enough time to find a way to qualify for immigration somehow. You can look into PNP's where some study programs can help you immigrate more than others. To do that, go here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-who.asp and look at especially Ontario and BC.

Nobody can say exactly how long you should study to get a legal job. If you take the 8 month course, you might be lucky enough to find an employer during that time who will help you apply for a work permit when you finish your course and sponsor you for PR through a PNP. However, the more time you have to look for a job, the better. A post grad work permit is very good to get your foot in the door with an employer because it is an open permit, it means you can work for any employer and the employer does not have to apply for anything to hire you. If you do not have a post grad work permit or you have a very short one that will expire quickly, the employer will have to apply for a labour market opinion showing that he advertised your job and could not find any Canadian who wanted it or was qualified to do it. If he fails to prove that, the LMO will be denied and then you can not apply for a work permit.
