International Student applying for immigration in Ontario, Canada?

Posted May 12th, 2010 by immigratecanada and filed in Uncategorized

A friend of mine is an international student at UofT and he is looking to apply for immigration in Ontario. He will be graduating this year and would be applying in the skilled worker area. he has had some work experience on campus (working in the student centre as an information assistant and other administrative jobs) and has also worked in food services on campus (in the kitchen). These have been part-time jobs. He also has other internship experiences which he is sure will count. What he would like to know is whether the on-campus jobs will count towards his work experience for immigration purposes

I have heard that canada laws require students to leave the country after finishing their studies are students; it’s very hard to stay and find work. Can anyone confirm/refute this?

Hiya!
So I’m from the United States/California as a Permanent Resident and they told me that doesn’t matter but…
Are there chances of me being rejected by the CIC for a student visa?
Are there a lot of people that get turned down for student visas to Canada (from the US)?
Keep in mind: I have my official acceptance letter from the University.
Thanks!

F1 Student visa holder in the US wants to immigrate to Canada by middle of next year after getting Bachelors?

I am here on F-1 Student Visa. I got my Associates Degree last year and will be getting my Bachelor’s next year. I want to immigrate to Canada permanently. Unfortunately I don’t see any immigration category that best fits because I don’t have years of work experience.What options are available?
I also recently got nominated for Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Can that be of any advantage to me? Thanks a lot.
