Study in Canada: SDS, PGWP, and PR pathway explained

SDS (Student Direct Stream) processes eligible applicants in 20 days if you pay first-year tuition upfront, hold a GIC of CAD 20,635, and score IELTS 6.0 (no band below 6.0).

PGWP length equals your programme length, up to 3 years. Work experience from PGWP counts toward Express Entry CRS score for PR.
