Yes, Canadian students can extend their stay in the Netherlands after graduation. International students who get a degree in the Netherlands can apply for a residence permit called the Orientation Year (Zoekjaar). It lets them stay there for a year to find work or start a company. They don't need a work permit during this time. If they find a job, they can switch to a permit for highly skilled migrants or other work-related residence options. The Dutch job market wants skilled international workers, especially in areas like tech, engineering, finance, and healthcare.
