Yes, after completing your two-year master's degree, you can get full-time work access in Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the USA through their post-study work visa options.
- Canada: Eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) up to 3 years.
- Ireland: Stamp 1G visa allows full-time work for up to 24 months.
- New Zealand: Post-Study Work Visa permits full-time work for up to 3 years.
- USA: Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows 12 months of full-time work (up to 36 months for STEM graduates).
Visa rules and durations are subject to change.
