Yes, you can pursue another bachelor's degree in Canada after your master's, even if you haven't found a job within a year after graduation.

You'll need to apply for a new study permit for the second bachelor's program. Study permits are typically valid for your program duration plus 90 days, so you must secure a new permit before your current one expires to maintain legal status.

If you change institutions or programs, you must update your study permit accordingly. Immigration rules are subject to change. For guidance tailored to your situation, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
