Doctoral programmes lead to faster PR's

The Canadian Immigration has made it easier for highly educated international students to become permanent residents. According to Federal skilled worker class now doctoral students can apply for permanent residency after completing their first two year of study. Or if they have already completed their doctoral program in Canada within the last year, then those students can apply too.

The Canadian government has restricted the number of applicants to 1000 international students a year.“Attracting and retaining immigrants with high levels of skill will help Canada compete in the knowledge-based world economy,” said Minister of State (Science and Technology) Gary Goodyear. “With this initiative, we are telling the innovators of tomorrow that Canada is ready to welcome them and their ideas.”
