Canada has increasingly become popular among individuals emigrating from African third world countries, for a number of reasons. Inflation, poor quality of life and negative economic impact are a some of the adverse reasons responsible for causing emigrants to migrate to Canada.
Even though a number of ways to immigrate to Canada exist, using education as an emigration route is the most popular. As an immigrant studying in Canada, upon admission into a Canadian University, you will get a study permit. Note that a study permit is not the same as a student visa, you will still have to apply for the latter. A student visa gives you authorization to enter a country as a student while a study permit, which contains all your personal student information, permits you to stay and study in the country. Depending on the nature of your study permit, you may or may not be able to work as an international student in Canada.
Regardless of this fact, education still remains one of the best routes for immigration. The process typically involves:
- You determine your preferred course of study (whether a Masters or a Bachelors program).
- Then you decide on a preferred state based on personal lifestyle preferences such as cost of living, employability after graduation, etc. Typically, it is best to decide on a desired city first as that narrows down the choice of schools to apply to.

- Once you have made a decision on each step, you are ready to begin your application process
