The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) provides international students who complete eligible programs in Canada the opportunity to gain Canadian work experience, enhance their career prospects, and potentially move toward permanent residency.
To qualify, international graduates must meet the following requirements:
Programs must be full-time, at least 8 months long, and completed at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada.
This includes public post-secondary schools or certain private institutions authorized to award degrees under provincial law.
Applications must be submitted within 180 days of receiving your final transcript or confirmation of program completion.
You must have a valid study permit at the end of your program or one that expired within the last 90 days.
Applicants who have already received a PGWP for another program are not eligible.
