Change status - Student to permanent resident
I'm planning to do a 1 year post-graduate program in canada. After I
graduate, how do I change my Foreign Student status into Permanent Resident status? I think the only way is under the skilled worker category, right? Can I do it within canada or do I need to leave the country? Thanks in advance. Julio - Brazil |

You would have to apply to an office outside Canada, probably Brazil, unless you will have at least 12 months status after your course so you could apply at Buffalo. But you would have to ensure that you have a US visa to attend an interview. Also don't forget you require 1 years work experience to qualify. Suggest you look at www.cic.gc.ca PMM> > Julio - Brazil |

Re: Change status - Student to permanent resident
Hi PMM,
I have a few more questions...I'm planning to take my wife with me. After I get the study permit, does she automatically qualify to live in canada with me while I'm studying? I will have the student visa, and what about her? What kind of visa she will have? And she will be abble to work full-time, right? Thanks again for your attention Julio |

To work full time, she would have to apply and pay the fee for an open work permit as the spouse of a student. PMM |
