Should I write in my explanation letter that I want to work in Canada after my study?

But then again, if you say that your canadian education will improve your employability and career "when you go back home" wherever that is, in some third world country, obviously you're lying. If you're from some poor region with no employability prospects, earning shit pay, you'll still earn shit pay when you go back. Its not like you're earning $800/month before and after your canadian education, you can find a job in your country that pays $4,000 ~ $5,000/month (which is an average postgraduate salary in canada).

Right? I am so torn as if I say I have zero intention to stay it would be a lie. I also have a history of applying for common-law sponsorship before so I can't hide the fact that I want to stay in Canada. My biggest question is that staying legally and illegally are two different categories. Will the officer see it differently or they completely hate the idea of someone may immigrate in Canada (does not matter he/she is doing the proper way or not)

I would tend to agree with above given the focus should be on why you need to come to Canada to study not work.

If you can apply for the latter once you qualify that would be a bonus but IRCC tend to keep things separate so need convincing first you have a valid purpose to study and the fact that once you graduate your prospects on returning home will improve as a result.

IRCC are not stupid and of course they generally accept that once somone graduates they will likely apply for a PGWP but that should not be implied upfront as the reason or assumption following study in Canada.

Focus on getting the study permit first .

Thank you for your reply, one of the best I have read. Unfortunately, I also have a history of applying for common-law sponsorship before so I can't hide the fact that I want to stay in Canada. My biggest question is that staying legally and illegally are two different categories. Will the officer see it differently when I try to imply that I will follow the rules, or they completely hate the idea of someone may immigrate in Canada (does not matter he/she is doing the proper way or not). Can I ask for more opinions from you?

I am in a similar position and would appreciate some guidance. I want to apply for a Diploma in Business Management, however I want to bring my spouse and child along. I can demonstrate sufficient funds as well as show funds from other family members. Our main intention is to stay in Canada however I am not sure how to justify bringing my spouse and child. Any guidance is appreciated.
