Emigrate to Canada via the study route
For those intending to emigrate to Canada, studying as an international student could be a practical first step of their journey.
The recent social instability in Hong Kong has prompted not only a few people to contemplate moving abroad, and Canada is amongst the top migrant destination countries, given its multiculturalism and the many emigration programs developed to facilitate the process.
Alvin Tam, Immigration Program (Development) Director of Goldmax, points out that the study path offers applicants a chance to experience the local life of a particular province/territory in Canada, and determine whether they are suited to such a lifestyle.
Each province and territory has its own ‘streams’ (immigration programs that target certain groups) and requirements, with certain province/territory having higher qualification thresholds than others.
Manitoba and Alberta are especially popular given their comparatively lower requirements. For the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), an applicant is required to have a non-seasonal, full-time job offer after completing at least six-month full-time employment at the company as a temporary foreign worker; or overseas graduate in Manitoba under the subcategory of Skilled Workers in Manitoba Stream.
Based on the needs of Manitoba employers, some occupations are qualified as in-demand, including architects, human resources managers and physiotherapists. Applicants who are employed by a Manitoba employer as Manitoba In-demand Occupation can be exempted from the six-month work requirement.
Ontario and British Columbia, on the other hand, have higher qualification thresholds. Although the Ontario Masters Graduate Stream of the Ontario Provincial Nominee Program designates that people can apply for residency within two years after receiving a master degree at accredited schools even without a job offer, strict quota restrictions are imposed on the Ontario Masters Graduate Stream each year.
