If I get a BA degree but am not able to get a job, will that affect my job seeker visa period or chances to get a work visa in another country in UK/Canada for a PhD?

No, not getting a job immediately after your BA degree does not affect your eligibility for job seeker or post-study work visas in Canada or the UK.

- Canada: You can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) after completing your degree, regardless of whether you have a job offer. The key is to apply within 180 days of receiving your final results and to have completed an eligible program at a Designated Learning Institution.
- UK: The Graduate Visa allows you to stay and work for up to two years (three years for PhD graduates) after your degree, even if you don’t have a job yet. Employment is not required at the time of application.

Visa rules and durations are subject to change.
