Canada Looks to Ease Pathway to Permanent
Residence for International Students

The Liberal government of Canada is seeking to
find ways to make it simpler and more
straightforward for international students in
Canada to transition to permanent resident status
once they have completed their studies in Canada.
Speaking after a meeting with provincial and
territorial government representatives yesterday,
Canada's Minister of Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship, John McCallum, said he intends to
launch federal-provincial talks to reform the
Express Entry immigration selection system, which
was launched by the previous Conservative
government in January, 2015. Since Express Entry
was introduced, the pathway for international
students to immigrate to Canada permanently has
become more uncertain.
