Verb (abbreviation of verb) Matters needing attention in applying for a work visa in Canada
1. Application time
Apply within 90 days after completing all university courses. After the results of last semester come out and meet the graduation requirements, everyone can start applying.
It usually takes 45 days to 2 months to get the application. If you don't apply within 90 days, you will be deemed to have given up your application automatically. If you still want to apply, you must go to another public school to complete the course and apply for a work permit again.
2. Only once in a lifetime.
You need to make your own life plan before the end of your undergraduate course. Do you want to pursue further studies or apply for a work visa? If you apply for a work visa after graduation and then study for a master's degree, you think that you still have a work visa after finishing the master's degree, it is wrong, because you have already applied once!
3. The validity period of the work sign
How many years can I apply for a work visa? It depends on the courses actually completed by the applicant. Canada's current policy: If the applicant has completed at least 2 years of courses (full-time) in Canada, he can apply for a 3-year work visa. If the applicant's course is more than 8 months, but less than 2 years, then the applicant can obtain a valid work visa equivalent to the course (setting) time. For example, 16 months or 18 months of MBA courses.
