- Get up to a 3-Year PGWP: Even with a 1-year master’s program, many graduates become eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years. That gives you real time to gain Canadian work experience and build your profile.
- Save time and money: You study for just one year, which means lower tuition fees and fewer living expenses. You enter the job market faster instead of spending two years in classrooms.
- Spouse eligible for work permit (SOWP): Your spouse can apply for an open work permit and work full-time in Canada while you study. That makes managing expenses and settling easier.
- Programs available in public universities: Several government-funded public universities now offer 1-year master’s programs, which adds credibility and long-term value to your degree.
- No application fee in some universities: Certain universities waive application fees, helping you reduce upfront costs during the admission process.
- No PAL required: These programs do not require a Provincial Attestation Letter, making the application process simpler and faster.
- Earn extra points for PR: A Canadian master’s degree gives you additional points in Express Entry and other PR pathways, improving your chances of permanent residency.
