To work in Canada, most foreign workers need to obtain a work permit before they can work in Canada.
Want to get a job and to live in canada

So, i am 26 yr. old student currently in the last year of my VFX degree with just one more semester to go. I have live in Canada for a little bit more than 3 years on a student permit, but couldn't finish my degree due to personal reasons and had to come back to India. Anyhow, I want to go there again after finishing my degree and want to get a job there and get a Permanent Residency. I would appreciate some suggestions about what qualifications and skills I need under my belt to be a great candidate to get the visa. Moreover, please advise me on what the best route would be to get a work permit that will lead to PR?

Hey! Your VFX background actually lines up pretty well with Canada’s demand for digital media professionals, especially in cities like Vancouver and Toronto. Once you finish your degree, look into applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)—it’s often the smoothest path toward gaining Canadian work experience and later applying for PR through Express Entry. Having strong demo reels, a solid LinkedIn profile, and references will help too. Also, side tip from my move: research the best and worst banks before landing. Picking the right one can save you time and headaches. Life’s easier when you’re not stuck in a branch line!
