GET READY TO PUT YOUR TALENTS TO USE!
Next Horizon – Career Support for International Graduates AppointmentContact UsIf you’re an international student and recently graduated from a top-level, innovative program at a Canadian institution such as Queen’s University or St. Lawrence College, you may be thinking of settling and are ready to figure out the next steps for working in your career of choice.
KEYS is here to help!
The good news is that most international students in Canada are eligible for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) upon graduation.
Once you have it, however, navigating the job search can be quite a challenge. Even with your training in Canada, you may feel you lack the professional networks and tools to get that job you really want to do and grow in a field you really love.
