Does graduating in Canada equal PR?
No automatic PR. A PGWP is temporary; you still need CEC or a PNP and a competitive score.

カナダ travel, immigration and PR
Canada is the textbook points destination in this atlas: temporary and permanent residence are separate filings, and Express Entry CRS cut-offs move every year.

このガイドの対象
For skilled workers, study-to-PR, provincial nominees, family class, and people who land on a work or study permit then raise their CRS.
渡航と滞在
Visa-exempt passports usually need an eTA to board; others a TRV. Stays are often six months, set at the port. Visitors cannot work. Study over six months needs a study permit.
就労・滞在の道
Temporary work is LMIA-sponsored, some LMIA-exempt streams, or a PGWP after study. PR is mainly Express Entry (FSW / CEC / FST) plus PNP. Points come from age, education, language and work.
永住と国籍
A grant makes you a permanent resident immediately. Citizenship usually needs three years of physical presence in five, tax filings, language and knowledge tests. PR cards expire; long absences hit residency obligations.
Time to PR：Economic PR is by invitation, not a years-then-apply clock
