Immigration via Education. Best Programs

People across the world consider moving overseas from their homeland. There are plenty of opportunities. Some buy a one-way ticket and give it a go, some travel with help of relatives living in a desired country. Some people start with a job. But there is another option that in some cases can be easier than the rest of them.

Studying abroad and staying in the country is an often choice for young people. It is a completely legal way of moving. You don’t risk to be deported and you don’t need to rely on other people. 

No, you are not too old to study. This is a great investment into your future in a completely new country. Several countries provide conditions for experienced employees and entrepreneurs of different complexity and price, such as Master Programs(€500 - €25,000), long-term Professional course from 12 months (€500 - €10,000) and MBA (€30 000 - €100,000).

Canada

Canada is one of the most comfortable countries for living. There are plenty of reasons why so many young professionals dream about this country in particular. 

One of the main requirements is work experience in the specialty of training in a canadian company for a year or more. You can gain such experience through graduation from a Canadian university. After that you can get a working visa for 3 years to find a suitable full-time job in a Canadian company. Some provinces have the authority to provide permanent residence for university graduates without any specific working experiences.

The period depends on your degree. After the expiration of your visa, you can get a General Skilled Migration visa, and later become a citizen of this country.

Italy

You can make a temporary residence permit in Italy due to working. After 5 years of living within the country you can get a permanent permit. 

The easiest way to find a job and stay in Italy is to start with education. As a student you get a residence permit for the whole period of education. After that you can find a job in your specialty and get a work visa under the quota allocated by the Italian government.
