What Is Malaysia to Canada?

Canada has become one of the most sought-after study destinations for Malaysian students — combining world-class universities (University of Toronto, UBC, McGill, Waterloo), a safe and multicultural society, affordable options compared to the US, and a post-study work and immigration pathway that is among the most accessible globally.

The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international graduates who completed a program of at least 8 months at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada to work for a period equal to their program length — up to 3 years. PGWP work experience then qualifies toward Canadian Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker or Canadian Experience Class) for permanent residency.

The Canadian Study Permit process involves an acceptance from a DLI, financial documentation, and a biometrics appointment. Processing times have varied significantly in recent years; Edufly monitors current processing windows and submits applications at optimal timing to ensure your Study Permit arrives before your program start date.

FAQ

Malaysia to Canada — Frequently Asked Questions

The Study Permit is Canada's authorisation document for international students — it is not a visa itself but a permit to study, issued by IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada). Malaysian citizens travelling to Canada typically also need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) depending on their citizenship. Edufly manages both the Study Permit and TRV applications simultaneously.
The PGWP is issued for a period equal to your program length (up to 3 years maximum). During the PGWP period, you work in Canada in any occupation — this experience builds the Canadian work history required for Express Entry (specifically the Canadian Experience Class). With at least 1 year of skilled Canadian work experience, you become eligible to apply for Canadian Permanent Residency through Express Entry, with a high probability of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
All major Canadian universities are DLIs — University of Toronto, UBC, McGill, Waterloo, and hundreds of others. DLI status is required for your program to qualify you for a PGWP. Edufly only recommends DLI-status institutions as part of the Canada migration service, ensuring your post-study work eligibility is protected from the start.
