Study permit as a PR pathway
A Canadian study permit lets you study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and, for most programs, work part-time. For Sudanese applicants, the sequence is the same as anywhere else study → graduate → PGWP → Canadian Experience Class but current logistics around the suspended Khartoum embassy need planning.
