POST STUDY WORK OPTIONS
The Canadian government offers options for international students to stay after their course and gain some work experience. The Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provides the Post-Graduate Work Permit Program. Under this program, international graduates can get an open work permit valid for three years. With this permit Canadian employers can work for any employer without the need of having a job offer before making an application.
Medical Tests for Canadian Student Visa?
The examination of an individual’s health is administered by a panel of physicians pre-approved by IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) specifically for Canadian Immigration purposes. This ensures that an individual is not denied immigration status on medical grounds. Moreover, it includes the individual’s medical examination along with a physical test. Such tests allow the physician to determine whether the candidate is medically fit for the Canadian population. In case, the results are unable to provide the required information, candidates are referred to specialists for further testing.
When to get your Medical Test done?
You have the choice to apply for your medical test before or after you apply for your visa.
Getting the test before you submit your application- If you apply for the medical test before you submit your application, it will be called an Upfront Medical Exam. You can get this test if you are applying to:
- Work

- Visit (including parent and grandparent visa)
Getting the test after submitting your application
