The Canadian provinces also offer permanent residence streams for graduates of post-secondary institutions. But ensure when you are choosing your university you research the Provincial Nominee Program for your university’s province, to see what it takes to get permanent residence. It usually takes a job offer after graduation and a commitment to remain in the province at the very least.
