University of Sherbrooke

We have not yet researched this university's admission pages, so we will not guess its deadlines or fees. Start from its official website and look for “international admissions”. The general process for Canada — exams, application platform, visa and costs — is in the Canada guide.

Canada combines relatively affordable, English/French-taught degrees with a clear post-graduation work permit (PGWP) and strong pathways to permanent residence. Since 2024 the programme has been through major tightening - a national intake cap, a provincial attestation letter for most applicants, higher proof-of-funds amounts, and a language-test requirement for the PGWP - so an Indian family planning now must check current rules close to application time.

Visa

Study permit

Work while studying

Up to 24 hours/week off campus during academic sessions (raised from 20 hours; page confirms holders of older permits referencing 20 hours may now work up to 24), unlimited hours during scheduled school breaks (canada.ca).

After graduating

Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP): length depends on programme length - 8 months to under 2 years gives a PGWP up to the same length as the programme; programmes of 2+ years give up to 3 years; master's programmes of at least 8 months (even if under 2 years) give a 3-year PGWP as of 15 February 2024. Proof of a language test result has been required with PGWP applications since 1 November 2024. A PGWP cannot be issued for longer than the applicant's passport validity, and cannot be obtained twice.
