Immigration is confusing enough. MaplePath makes the path clearer.
MaplePath is a community and Q&A platform for people building their future in Canada β starting with international students moving from a study permit to a work permit to permanent residence.
What MaplePath is
Canada's immigration rules change constantly β proof-of-funds figures, the study permit cap, PGWP eligibility, Express Entry categories. Official pages are accurate but dense, and the fast, friendly answers usually live in scattered Reddit threads and group chats where you can't tell who actually knows.
MaplePath brings both together in one place:
- Guidesthat are written from official sources (canada.ca and the provinces), stamped with a βlast verifiedβ date, and linked back to the source so you can check.
- Tools β a CRS calculator, an Express Entry draw tracker, and an eligibility wizard β so you can see where you stand.
- Community Q&A where you can ask real questions and hear from people at the same stage β with licensed experts (RCICs and immigration lawyers) clearly marked, because in Canada only they can give paid advice.
Who it's for
MaplePath is built first for international students in Canadaβ the study β PGWP β permanent-residence journey, with a focus on the Ontario pathways (OINP and Express Entry) that most students take. If you're figuring out proof of funds, whether your program keeps a PGWP open, how to build the Canadian work experience that counts toward PR, or what the 2026 rule changes mean for you, you're exactly who we built this for.
Skilled workers, families, and people arriving through other streams are welcome too β the guides and tools cover the full picture, and the community grows outward from there.
Why we built it
MaplePath was started by someone who went through this path herself β arriving as an international student and working through the study-to-PR journey firsthand. The tools that existed were either intimidating official portals or law-firm blogs trying to sell a consultation. What was missing was a place that was accurate, current, and honest β where you could get a real answer without feeling like a lead.
That's the whole idea: accuracy is the brand. Every number and date in our guides is checked against an official source before it goes live, and if we can't confirm something, we leave it out rather than guess.
What MaplePath is not
MaplePath provides general information, not legal or immigration advice, and we are not affiliated with IRCC or the Government of Canada. Immigration decisions depend on your specific situation. For advice you can rely on, consult a licensed RCIC or an immigration lawyer β many are part of the MaplePath community.
