Securing Your Canadian Study Permit
Obtaining a Canadian study permit is the first crucial step for international students. As your dedicated Canadian immigration lawyer, Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates assists you in preparing a compelling application to IRCC. This includes providing a letter of acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), demonstrating sufficient financial support, proving genuine intent to study, and meeting medical and admissibility requirements. We guide you on selecting the right program and institution, understanding the nuances of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) and IRCC policies that affect student visa applications.
Post-Graduation Work Permits & Pathway to PR
After completing your studies in Canada, the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) program is a popular pathway to gain Canadian work experience. Mwenda Njagi & Co.

This work experience is often a key factor for transitioning to permanent residency through programs like Express Entry (specifically the Canadian Experience Class) or various Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). We help you strategize your application to leverage your Canadian education and work experience for future immigration goals.
