It depends. Discontinuing your current studies may limit your options for work or migration in Canada, the UK, or other countries, as most skilled pathways require completed qualifications.

- Canada: Most career and immigration routes, like the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), require you to complete your studies. If you discontinue, you may need to consider alternative pathways, such as employer-sponsored work permits or provincial nominee programs, but these have strict eligibility criteria. - UK: The Graduate Route (post-study work visa) is only available if you finish an eligible UK course. Without completed studies, you would need to qualify for other visas, such as the Skilled Worker Visa, which requires a job offer from an approved employer.

Policies and eligibility rules are subject to change.
