Why this guide

The student-to-PR pathway is real, and it is harder than the education agents selling it admit. This guide maps the full 500 to 485 to 482 to 186 sequence with current settings, the $29,710 financial capacity requirement, work-rights limits, and an honest chapter on the 2026 graduate market. It also covers the credential-mill warning signs, because the course you pick determines whether the pathway exists at all.
