The S-1 is a study visa suitable for those who wish to study in Canada and take a program longer than 24 weeks. This permit allows the person to work up to 20 hours a week, and its validity correlates with the person’s study period.

Suitable for those who want to study and work in Canada for longer than 24 months. The person who takes undergraduate and graduate courses that have a Co-op (mandatory internship) is only entitled to apply for this visa. In addition to the permission for Co-op, just like the S-1, this type of visa also allows the person to work up to 20 hours per week (in addition to the Co-op time), and its validity is correlated with the study time.

The SX-1 is a temporary study visa for those wishing to take courses of less than 24 weeks. For this reason, anyone entering Canada on this visa is considered to have visitor status. As this is an entry justified by study, it is necessary that the institution is a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and must provide the applicant with a Letter of Acceptance (LOA).

The Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWP) allows students who have graduated from eligible Canadian designated learning institutions (DLIs) to obtain an open work permit to gain valuable Canadian work experience. Skilled Canadian work experience in National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill type 0 or skill level A or B that is gained through the PGWP helps graduates qualify for permanent residence in Canada through the Canadian experience class within Express Entry.
