Canada has been among the top destinations among Indians aspiring to settle down abroad. Among the reasons are the immigration policies, specifically pertaining to jobs and permanent residency.
Towards the end of last year, Canada amended its policies to allow international students with valid study permit to find employment without having to consider the number of hours they were allowed to work.
