A new study, “From Student to Immigrant? Multi-step Pathways to Permanent Residence,” has revealed that too many international students in Canada face convoluted paths toward permanent residency. According to the Conference Board of Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) should develop better routes for international students seeking permanent resident status in Canada. The Conference Board declared that Canada “lacks a purpose-built federal economic immigration program for international students” and should establish specific immigration pathways for international students, guaranteeing quicker and more predictable permanent residency routes.
