Does Canada allow student visa holders to convert to working visas?
I have heard that canada laws require students to leave the country after finishing their studies are students; it's very hard to stay and find work. Can anyone confirm/refute this?

But usually only for 1 year. So far I have not seen anything that says you can change status permanently inside the country. So basically yes you would need to leave canda to get a work permit. But there is nothing to stop you looking for work while you are in Canada and then leaving for a week to get the WP and then coming back - I dont think.

Ask yourself this question ? If regular immigration applicants are waiting up to three years to get approval, why should you expect to get special fast treatment ? Canada wants people who have actual working experience, not just a recent graduate diploma. A student visa is for a set period of time in Canada, When it expires, you go home. Once you are back in your own country, feel free to apply, and see if you are accepted. Remember, it is our country, and we set the Immigration rules. You just have to obey them. . Jim B. Toronto.

So go to the immigration office and request a change of status.
2 :
you can not apply while your still a student
3 :
you cannot apply for PR status until after you have graduated and worked in Canada for 12 months on a post grad work permit, in a full time job that is related to your degree. Once you have done the 12 months in a full time job, then you can apply for PR but you must stay on the work permit and keep working. Processing for PR in this category so far is taking more than 12 months This is called the Canadian Experience class. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/index.asp

For now, you have a student visa which mean that you can't work unless you work on the campus (university). To have a better answer, you have to tell us what is your country of origin... But with the info we have, I would suggest you to apply as a skilled worker, but you will lose your student status... If you have relatives (mom/dad or kids) in Canada, it is different... If you are a US citizen, you have other options. It depends from where you are from... France and Quebec have their own agreements too... www.cic.gc.ca/

yes you can apply for a tourist visa,but must leave when the visa expires

Yeah, you can. But you were gone for more than 90 days, so make sure you apply all new instead of for the reinstation of status one.
