New horizons: What do changing visa and work norms mean for Indian students?


Canada’s Immigration division has a new programme called the Student Direct Stream, under which a student can get study permits within 45 days instead of the previous 60-day wait. The number of institutes you can apply to has also increased. You can apply for additional work permits too. If you study here for months, you get a work permit for eight months, if you study for two years or more, you get a three-year work permit, and you can apply for and get additional permits beyond that too.
Studying in New Zealand is becoming attractive because of increased ease in applying to universities and getting visas, availability of niche courses and work opportunities. Canada and New Zealand both offer niche courses in fields such as human-computer interaction and big data. At a lower cost, you get niche degrees, internship opportunities and placements.
 Universities in New Zealand now have tie-ups with multinational companies and this makes finding a job easier too, they also offer multiple intakes for both undergraduate and Masters programmes and hence are beginning to see an average 10% increase in the number of new visa applicants every year.
Getting a job in New Zealand is easier if you build contacts while you are studying there, say former students. They actually need eligible workers here. You just need to check the right boxes. Expenses are relatively low and earnings are high. You also get permanent residency easily.
Other increasingly popular options include Spain, Italy, and Japan, still most popular option  are http://gkworks.in/study-and-settle-abroad/study-settle-newzealand/
