Study in Germany to get a work visa in USA or Canada

Studying in Germany does not directly grant a work visa for the USA, Canada, Australia, or similar countries, but it can improve your chances in the following ways:

• USA: A German degree may make you a stronger candidate for the H-1B visa (skilled worker visa), but you still need a U.S. employer to sponsor you. Having a degree in a STEM field can be advantageous.

• Canada: With a German degree, you may qualify for Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker Program) or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP). Some Canadian employers value international degrees, but having Canadian work experience is more beneficial.

• Australia: Your German degree may help in General Skilled Migration (GSM) programs, such as the Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189), but work experience and occupation demand are key factors.

• Other countries: Many countries have skilled worker pathways where a recognized degree helps, but local work experience and job offers are often required.

While studying in Germany won’t automatically give you a work visa elsewhere, it can enhance your profile for migration programs or employer sponsorships.
