Off-Campus Job Opportunities
Students registered in full-time studies can work off campus (as well as on campus) during their studies in Canada. Students only need only to obtain a verification form from the University of Windsor, confirming that the student has been studying full-time for at least 6 months and is in good academic standing.
After Graduation – Work Permit
The rules have changed to make it much easier for an international student to obtain a work permit. International students can now apply for a work permit before securing a job. The number of years for the work permit has increased from two years (one year if the job is in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver) to three years anywhere in Canada.
After Graduation – Permanent Residency
A person with permanent residence status can live in Canada as long as they wish. International students who have studied and graduated from a Canadian university or college program, and who have worked in Canada for at least one year in a managerial, professional or technical position, may qualify to apply for permanent resident status. |
