Hello everyone, Currently I'm doing my MSc in IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT in France. My student visa will expire on coming march. To secure a professional job related to IT, Can France APS will help me to get a job without the company sponsored visa.

My whole confusion is Can a France APS(temporary resident permit or job search) in France can help me to continue the work visa in belgium Or do i need to ask the companies to sponsor me the visa... Please let me know..

You cannot move to Belgium on the French APS and it does not give you the right to woork in Belgium. However, while you are legally residing in France under the APS you can search for jobs in Belgium. If a Belgium company was willing to sponsor you, they could apply for the single permit for you and your visa could be processed through the Belgium consulate in France (rather than returning to your home country).
