International students graduating from Canadian post-secondary institutions are well-placed for success as immigrants to Canada because they have received quality education, are proficient in official languages, and have lived in local communities. Federal and provincial immigration programs are designed to retain international graduate talent to contribute to the economy. This session will be jointly presented by an experienced officer from Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and senior BC PNP staff who will answer your questions about study permits, work permits, and provincial and federal immigration programs. Participants will leave this session better equipped to guide international students through the immigration process.
