Pakistani students can now get Canadian study permits processed in 20 days!

[Dubious]

BY NEWS DESK , (LAST UPDATED 5 HOURS AGO)

Canada has introduced a new study-permit processing system called the Student Direct Stream through which the students of five countries, including Pakistan, can have their permits processed in as few as 20 days.

Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen MP, announced expanding the system to Pakistani students on Twitter.

Canada, the minister wrote, “is a global leader in attracting the world’s best and brightest” and “international students are contributing to our economy, enhancing our people to people ties, and growing our academic capital”.

“That’s why we are expanding our Student Direct Stream program to Pakistan,” Hussen added.

That's why we are expanding our Student Direct Stream program to Pakistan.

On its website, the Canadian government announced the new system, saying: “Depending on where you live, you may be able to get your study permit faster through the Student Direct Stream.

“We try to process most Student Direct Stream applications within 20 calendar days,” it added but stressed that “some applications may take longer than this”.

Pakistan was added to the list, which previously comprised China, Vietnam, the Philippines, and India.

Once a student has “an acceptance letter from a post-secondary designated learning institution”, they can apply for the Student Direct Stream.

The requirements for the Student Direct Stream include giving “your biometrics as soon as possible”, meeting “meet all the eligibility requirements”, and passing a language test

Good ideas. What are the work opportunities in Canada after completing education there?

So the universities can milk more international students. It already squeezes very last penny out of local students and it pretty much sees international students as piggy banks.

None, work is low. If you want to work minimum wage for McDonald's or something then you can find a job otherwise nothing.

That's true, but a lot of those same students also end up staying in Canada and getting jobs here. Some of their earnings may even go back to Pakistan as remittances (at least, I can tell you for sure a lot of my friends who came on student visas are sending some money back).

It depends on your field. I know for a fact that DevOps, CI/CD, software developers, etc, have good prospects in Canada and the US. Engineering is a hit-and-miss, but you're generally OK if you're in nuclear, semi-conductors, etc, but I hear civil's tough for some reason. Back in my day, business (esp. finance and accounting) was huge, but it isn't as promising as it was say 9-12 years back, you're better off moving into software development or engineering.

What jobs? No jobs in the central provinces.

Useless then. They should give international student post study work visa for at least two years to gain some experience and also to earn some money after investing in education

Of those graduating right now, I know people getting jobs in CI/CD/Cloud Automation and software development, those are the biggest/best catches right now. But yes, compared to 10 years ago, it's a lot tougher for people with business, accounting, finance, etc. degrees to get jobs.

Seriously are you even serious??

We worked our asses off to get this opportunity for Pakistani students and you type shit without even knowing anything.

How about click on the link and see how this works . There are great opportunities and way towards permanent residency.....yes a lot of students while in school work off jobs so did I. But this is how it works.

No one lives there.... Toronto is the regional hub for software, data science, fintech and AI. Ottawa is called the silicon valley of the north. Montreal has a thriving aerospace industry with Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney, CAE, Rolce Royce, GE etc all having massive operations.


Obviously if they are studying non-technical fields they will have trouble finding a job.

The government has something called a "post graduation work visa" which is typically for 3 years and maybe you can get extension of 2 more years. You only need to work one year after graduating from Canadian university to get permanent residency.

if you're not studying STEM get ready for McDonalds

yes education is the next market...same with Australia...but at least there is work there.........

None, work is low. If you want to work minimum wage for McDonald's or something then you can find a job otherwise nothing.

This is why I am skeptical about going there

They recently made easier visa for low paid jobs in agriculture and advertised it like agri experts can get easy visa

back, you're better off moving into software development or engineering

Indeed...there is alot of jobs in computing...big data especially!

There is no extension. 3 years and thats it. You need to get PR before 3 years gets expired.

MASSIVE difference..... one international student fees is equally to roughly four Canadian or permanent resident students. From UofT:

International students pay for domestic students. Depending upon where you study fee varies. I paid around 8k per semester when domestic students paid 2k per sem and complained about how much expensive it damn was. But right now getting PR is easy.
