Many countries offer pathways to permanent residency (PR) for international students after completing their studies. For example, Canada provides the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), allowing graduates to gain work experience and transition to PR through programs like Express Entry. Australia’s Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) offers a similar route, while Germany permits PR applications after two years of skilled employment post-study.
Eligibility depends on factors like course duration, field of study, and local immigration policies. Researching specific country requirements, such as language proficiency or job offers, is crucial to ensure a smooth transition from student visa to PR.
