What is the PGWP?
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international students who have graduated from a designated Canadian institution to work in Canada for up to 3 years after graduation.
Who Qualifies?
To qualify, you must have studied full-time for at least 8 months at a designated learning institution in Canada and graduated from a program of at least 8 months in duration.
Pathway to Permanent Residency
The PGWP is often the first step toward Canadian permanent residency via Express Entry or Provincial Nominee Programs. Canadian work experience gained on a PGWP can make you highly competitive for PR.
