Why this program?

To understand the value that this program brings to the student in terms of meeting their immigration aspirations, you need to understand the available immigration vehicles for students into Canada and their limitations.

Federal skilled worker immigration: Limitations: It has only quota of 10,000 per year with 21 designation and maximum 500 for each designation. Most of them in civil and heath care segment. So most of Indian students are not eligible to this model and we can say almost impossible.

Provincial nominee program Limitations: This is employer driven stream. Students have to figure out employers who are willing to sponsor PR for them. Lot of students currently going to Saskatchewan province to find the employer who can help them with PNP but the process takes closely 3 years and often employers exploit the students in work due to the student dependencies. Risks: If company undergoes the process of selling, merge, takeover and bankruptcy the PR file will be rejected.

Canadian experience class Student after completion of the 2 year program they have to work for Canadian employer for 1 year continuously full time in NOC OAB. Its often hard for student to find job after the graduation. Moreover they have to meet the English language (IELTS not less than 6 in any and overall 6.5) requirements at the time of process.

Current Student Trends

So what students are doing today? Most of them are studying 2 years, spending more than $25,000 and obtaining 3 years work permit. Once they get work permit students are trying to find job under NOC level OAB categories but only 5% are successful and the rest of them look for alternatives. While most of them are going to Saskatchewan province to find an employer who can sponsor them for Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) and enable their Canadian Permanent Residency processing. Relocating to another province means additional relocation costs and risk of unknowns (where will I stay? will I find a job? will I find a sponsor?). Even if they find an employer, there have been many reported instances of exploitation wherein the students are paid less than the hourly wage. Even after going through all this they are still not sure if they would achieve their goal of obtaining Permanent Residency and even if they do, the process takes 53 months (24 months of study+ 6 months work+ 8 months PNP +15 months for PR processing). Looking at the student hardships, Edu Edge wanted to provide a product with more assurance to the students. In this quest Edu Edge has invested 2 years of time to structure a partnership with Lester B Pearson School Board for Accounting Studies DEP (Vocational Diploma) as it is one of the only programs that makes students eligible along with their studies to become a Permanent Resident. Why and how is this possible?

Due to the aging population in Quebec they need resources in Finance and Accounting. Quebec immigration to fulfill this requirement is supporting such programs where the province needs skilled workforce in the future by awarding immigration points. Accounting is one such skill and students studying accounting program are eligible for 12 points. These 12 points make all the difference while filing for Canadian immigration. Fundamentally adding these points to the grading system makes the student eligible for immigration.

Visa and Immigration

Quebec has a separate visa and immigration process compared to rest of Canada but the eventual outcome of the process yields a pan Canadian Permanent Residency. There are two significant add-on steps in the Student Visa and Immigration process. At the admission stage, student needs to process a Qubec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ). This is a simple process which can be enabled by educational consultant. The second and more significant process step is Certificat de slection du Qubec (CSQ). This is a prerequisite for Permanent Residency processing and needs to be obtained by all residents of Quebec province intending to process Canadian Permanent Residency. Receiving a CSQ means that Quebec province find the student eligible and suitable for long term residency in Quebec,

Based on this a student can apply for Canadian Residency. The CSQ application process would be enabled by Edu Edge. Indian students with a Bachelors degree would become eligible for CSQ application processing after 11 months of education in Quebec. Indian students with Post Secondary education in India would become eligible for CSQ application processing after 16 months of education in Quebec. Upon CSQ application, CSQ is approved within 4 months and students are eligible to apply for Permanent Residency. Based on current processing time, it is taking about 6 months to get Residency CSQ approved files. This means that an Indian student with graduate degree or post secondary education who has enrolled in this program would get Canadian Permanent Residency along with or before completion of the program.
