I've heard a few different things, and I'm sure it's different for every country.
I know that for Canada, if you have a note from your employer that basically states you're absolutely necessary/can't easily be replaced, then this will grant you a longer work visa or something. I've also heard that most workplaces will just write that note regardless. Although your situation sounds quite a bit different than that.
I do know that you can't just move to a country without first having a job (although I think that's pretty common knowledge?) unless it's for school or through family sponsorship.
Well, in my case, I'll be under Optional Practical Training, which means I can work here for 12 months (can be extended to 19 if I'm under STEM, which I am) right after I graduate, as long as it's a job related to my major. It's actually the only way to stay here after graduation; otherwise, I'll have to go home to work off my loan (as part of the contract I have with the education department there).
This is if I can find a job.
