Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) also offer PR opportunities for graduates in specific provinces. Many students use their Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) to gain Canadian work experience, which strengthens their PR application. RRU provides immigration workshops and consultation services to help students navigate the process.
