Moreover, you get to earn extra money which you use to pay for your tuition or take your friends out for a treat.
Additionally, you can also to apply for an ‘off campus work visa’, after you have spent 6 months studying in Canada. The visa enables you to peruse Jon opportunities outside your campus which you weren’t entitled to do so before.
If after graduation, as is the case for most students, you still want to stay back, you will have to apply for a ‘post-graduation work visa’.

Hence, you can get clearance to both work and live in Canada permanently.
