A Canadian Degree Is the Fastest Legal Route to Permanent Residency.
Study in Canada. Work after graduation on a Post-Graduation Work Permit. Build Canadian work experience. Apply for Express Entry with a CRS score that offshore applicants simply cannot match. This is an immigration strategy that starts with a degree.
Everyone Talks About Studying in Canada. Very Few Plan It Strategically.
Most Indian students choose Canada for the degree. The smart ones choose it for what comes after: a Post-Graduation Work Permit, Canadian work experience, and an Express Entry profile that scores 50 to 80 points higher than the same applicant applying from offshore.
But the wrong program, the wrong institution, or a poorly structured study permit application can derail the entire pipeline before it starts.
A non-DLI institution. A program too short for PGWP eligibility. A financial documentation gap. These are expensive mistakes that most students only discover after the damage is done.
We Build Your Study Plan Around Your Immigration Outcome.
At 91 Travel, we treat your Canadian degree as Step 1 of your permanent residency strategy. Every recommendation we make — program, institution, location, documentation — is aligned with maximising your CRS score and Express Entry position after graduation.
We verify PGWP eligibility, NOC code alignment, and institutional designation before you apply to a single university.
The Study-to-PR Pipeline
Study Permit Application
Apply for a Canadian study permit at a Designated Learning Institution. We advise on SDS eligibility for faster processing — typically two to three weeks.
Graduate and Secure PGWP
Complete a qualifying program of two years or more at a DLI for the maximum three-year Post-Graduation Work Permit.
Build Canadian Work Experience
Work in a NOC TEER 0, 1, or 2 occupation. One year qualifies you for the Canadian Experience Class. Two to three years significantly boosts your CRS.
Express Entry Profile
Submit your Express Entry profile with Canadian credentials and work experience. Your CRS score is meaningfully higher than your offshore equivalent.
Permanent Residency
Receive an Invitation to Apply and submit your PR application. Target processing: six months.
What Working With 91 Travel Looks Like
Program and institution strategic review
We verify PGWP eligibility, DLI status, and NOC code alignment before any program recommendation. The program you study must lead to employment in a TEER 0, 1, or 2 occupation.
Which means: Your degree directly feeds your Express Entry profile — no dead ends.
Location strategy
Studying outside major census metropolitan areas or in designated rural regions may qualify you for additional immigration incentives through regional programs.
Which means: Additional CRS points and provincial nomination opportunities others miss.
Financial documentation structuring
We advise on exactly how to present tuition plus living expenses (approximately CAD $20,000 per year minimum), which accounts, how far back, and how to handle sponsorship arrangements.
Which means: Your financial evidence meets SDS and standard stream requirements without gaps.
SOP strategy for immigration officers
Your Statement of Purpose needs to demonstrate genuine study intent and ties to India — written for the visa officer, not the university admissions team.
Which means: Your SOP addresses what the embassy needs to see, not just what sounds impressive.
Post-graduation pathway mapping
We map your full trajectory from graduation through PGWP, Canadian Experience Class, and Express Entry — including provincial nomination options where relevant.
Which means: You know exactly what your CRS score projection looks like before you enrol.
Quebec-specific pathway advice
Quebec has its own immigration system — the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ). If you are considering a Quebec institution, we advise on PEQ separately.
Which means: No surprises when you graduate in a province with different immigration rules.

What Our Clients Say
“91 Travel made me change my program choice before I applied — the original one was not PGWP-eligible. That single piece of advice saved my entire immigration plan.”
, Student, Business Analytics, Toronto
“My SDS application was approved in 17 days. They structured everything perfectly — GIC, tuition receipt, IELTS, medical. No follow-up documents requested.”
, Student, Computer Science, Vancouver
“I was going to study a one-year diploma. 91 Travel explained why a two-year program was worth the extra year — the three-year PGWP made all the difference for my Express Entry score.”

Questions We Hear Every Day
Can I work while studying in Canada?
Yes — international students at DLIs can work up to 24 hours per week off-campus during academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks. Your spouse may also be eligible for an open work permit.
What if I want to study in Quebec?
Quebec has its own immigration system — the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ). We advise on Quebec-specific pathways separately, as the rules differ significantly from federal Express Entry.
Can my family come with me?
Your spouse may be eligible for an open work permit if you are studying in a graduate program or a program leading to a professional designation. Dependent children can attend Canadian schools.
What happens if my study permit is refused?
We conduct a full refusal analysis and rebuild your application addressing the specific grounds for refusal before reapplication. Reapplying without understanding why you were refused is almost certain to fail again.
Does program length affect my immigration outcome?
Significantly. Programs under eight months do not qualify for a PGWP. Programs of two years or more qualify for a three-year PGWP — the maximum. Longer PGWP means more Canadian work experience, which means a stronger Express Entry profile.
