What’s express entry like? I was considering to a visit visa? Im not fluent in French, i dont have work experience im just done with uni
Google - Express Entry. You are not even eligible. Immigration to Canada is very difficult and you want a Masters, fluent in French and be in jobs in demand (healthcare, trades). IT is oversaturated. A visit visa is just to come as a tourist.

So you are coming to visit Canada, not study or work? A visit visa allows you to enter Canada and stay up to 6 months or as determined by CBSA upon entry (may give you weeks). The visa may be valid up to 5 years so come and go through the years. It doesn’t allow you to stay in Canada for 5 years. Always have a return ticket.

Student visa is not easy at all. You need admissions, show $21k plus tuition in cash, and justify costs with higher pay then you would make with your degree. So if program is $80k you need to justify it.

What school has fees of $19k. For a study permit you pay $19k then show another $21k for living expenses. I cannot tell you your chances you need to justify costs, show education and career progress. Show what will make with a Masters.

Why just visit Canada? To get TRV, you need to show funds, ties to return (job letter with approved leave, business, income properties) and travel history. Include itinerary of what you will do.

So you have a 4 year degree…get ECA for Canadian equivalency. Apply and get accepted to U of M. You need a supervisor support letter to get accepted. So show you can afford tuition plus minimum $21k. Good luck.
