Citizenship for Canadian International Students
Posted on February 4th, 2010 by Jennifer Frankel
In a move that has been designed to target the international education industry in both the UK and Australia, after both countries have had very public issues with visa issuance/ bogus schools and violence towards international students, the Canadian province of Quebec is now offering all international students who graduate from any university in the province, a fast track to Canadian Citizenship.
The move was announced earlier this week as the province’s premier, Jean Charest, visited India and met with students and scholars from the University of Mumbai. Starting February 14th, international students who graduate from universities in Quebec would get “a certificate of selection” that would put them on a fast track to Canadian citizenship.
The news is sure to see an influx of applications to Canada, not only from India, but also from countries all over the world. The UK and Australia will be hardest hit however with their recent troubles. Most recently the UK have suspended all visa issuance in India as the last quarter of 2009 saw an huge influx of visa requests (13,500) which is up from the average for that period around 1,200 to 1,800. For more information on this subject, please see the original news source for a full outline.
Are you an international student who is now going to consider studying in Canada because of this? Let us know in the comments section below!

Dear Sir or Miss,
My name is Christelle Beauboeuf! I’m Haitian and i leave in Haiti! After the January 12 Earthquake,i went to the United States,with my sister and my mom to avoid the stress after the Quake! Now that we have arrived here,without the residency or the citizenship,we cannot attend neither College nor University! Plus,the expenses for an international student in the U.S are not affordable for my parents that have lost both there jobs in the Earthquake! I’ve always wanted to study in Canada,because the social life is excellent there!
So if there is a possibility that i find a scholarship in Canada,please help!
I’ve been studying Business Administration for the past two years! Now that my school has collapsed,i cant go back to continue! I also wanted to change my major from Business Administration to Hospitality and Tourism or Veterinary Medicine if possible!
Please give me the procedure in making it a reality!
