Canada's immigration programs are increasingly beneficial for international student graduates, especially those who have gained work experience. As a result, many education agents are actively recruiting students to study in Canada. However, some of these agents may provide misleading information to attract applicants.
If you're planning to study in Canada with the goal of eventually applying for permanent residence, it's important to approach the process with caution. Studying in Canada does not automatically guarantee permanent resident status—there is a specific process you must follow.
Your choice of school, program, and even the city or province you study in can significantly affect your chances of becoming a permanent resident after graduation. Unfortunately, most education agents are not qualified to guide you through this complex immigration process.
This is why immigration consultants are regulated by law. If you proceed with your studies in Canada without fully understanding the implications of your decisions, you may face challenges in obtaining permanent residency and could end up spending unnecessary amounts of money.
While many education agents are authorized to assist with your admission application, they are not equipped to provide the expert advice you need for your immigration plans. Don’t fall victim to misleading information or "education trafficking."
