Obtaining a Post-Graduation Work Permit is one of the routes that international students looking to remain in Canada can take to start building a life there.

International students bring a vibrant, new, and fresh perspective to the academic landscape in Canada when they arrive from their home countries to study at a Canadian designated learning institution (DLI).

Canada takes immense pride in being a preferred destination for international students looking to further their lives and educations.

Beyond their institutional education, however, another point of pride for Canada is that most international students have shown a desire to stay here after graduation. In fact, a 2022 Canadian Bureau of International Education (CBIE) survey revealed that “59.4% of respondents” said that they wanted to become Canadian permanent residents after graduation.

New Zealand, although it is the same size as Japan or Great Britain, but there are a lot of reasons that you should consider going there for your studies abroad.

1. The people

Kiwis are some of the most amazing, loving, and welcoming people that you will ever meet. If you are a stranger, a native New Zealander is going to treat you like you are a friend. They are used to meeting new people, first because they travel a lot themselves, and also because a lot of people come to visit New Zealand as well.

2. The stability

The economy is actually incredibly stable, the cost of living is low, and the government is more stable (and less argumentative) than the governments that you will see in other countries. This is probably the reason that immigration is embraced, which we will talk about more in some of our later points.

3. The Weather

Nothing can get better than the weather in New Zealand. The winters are mild, with temperatures around 10ºC (50ºF) and slightly wet. In higher altitudes, you will see snow, but it’s not common in lower altitudes. In the summers, the climate is warm and dry with temperatures around 25ºC (77ºF).

4. The educational system

This is the number one reason to go anywhere for school, but New Zealand is amazing for their educational system. First, the tuition is some of the lowest in the world. You get a British-based education (due to their British influences) for a percentage of the cost.

5. Never run out of things to do

Do you like to hike? There are plenty of mountains for you to explore. Do you enjoy being a beach bum? Then you get to enjoy the beaches throughout the year. Want some excitement? There are always new things to do . The scenery is different depending on where you go; you could drive an hour and have a completely different geography.

6. Work opportunities

There are plenty of work opportunities available for international students. On a student visa, you are allowed to work up to 20 hours a week through the semester; during vacations you can work up to 40 hours. So, instead of having to worry about finances, you get to supplement your education with income.

7. Ease of visa acquisition and residency

The visa acquisition process is incredibly simple, and unlike many other countries, you will not be rejected right away. You get to talk to people and tell them your side of the story if there is something that may prevent you from getting a visa to come into the country.

What is behind Australia’s rise?
Australia returned to the consideration set of prospective international students when it re-opened its borders in late-2021, and many students have been attracted to the January 2022 announcement that caps would be lifted on number of hours students could work while studying (a policy that will remain in place till 30 June 2023).

Working while studying has become a priority for a significant proportion of international students in 2022. Global economic contraction and/or currency devaluations are affecting the finances of students and their families. The IDP research found notable concern among prospective students about whether they will have enough money while studying in Australia.

Best part-time jobs for international students in Canada

The Canadian government recently announced that international students in Canada can now work more than 20 hours per week. It’s a bid to help industries in need of more workers. For international students, this is good news to help deal with the high cost of studying and living in Canada.

1. Server

Though not the highest-paying job per hour in Canada, you do get tips. In Canada, customers are expected to pay between 15-18% in tips.

2. Delivery services

This means you deliver passengers, food or packages. If you work for a company that provides on-demand services, you can work whenever you like.

3. Tutor

The average wage a part-time tutor in Canada receives is about US$15 per hour. The process of finding a job is more tedious than other part-time jobs, but there are a number of sites that help students secure tutoring jobs.

4. Dog walker

There are many dog-walking businesses in Canada. On average, dog walkers in Canada earn about US$20 per hour.

5. Salesperson

Easier for international students to become Canadian permanent residents

“Temporary foreign workers and international students play an important role in Canada’s economy and that is why the government aims to enable greater pathways to permanent residency,” the official statement read. “International students are a key source of talent that help grow Canada’s labour force, boost productivity, and balance the impact from Canada’s ageing population.”
