When choosing where to study abroad, one of the most important considerations is post-study work rights. These allow international students to remain in the country and gain valuable job experience after graduation.

Canada offers up to a 3-year Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), depending on the length of your study. This is ideal for those looking to transition into permanent residency through Canada’s Express Entry or PNP systems.

Australia provides 2 to 4 years of post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485), especially strong for regional study areas.

UK reintroduced its Graduate Route visa, allowing international graduates to stay and work for 2 years (3 years for PhD holders).

Germany allows graduates to stay 18 months to find a job in their field. Knowledge of German can boost opportunities but is not always mandatory.

The Netherlands offers a 1-year “Orientation Year” visa for job searching after graduation, especially popular among tech and business students.
