The post-graduation work permit (PGWP) allows students who have graduated from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution to gain valuable Canadian work experience. 

A PGWP may be issued for the length of your program up to a maximum of three years. A post-graduation work permit is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, cannot be valid for longer than the length of your program, and the study program must be a minimum of eight months in length. 

To obtain a post-graduation work permit after completing your program, you must meet the eligibility requirements. For up-to-date information about the Post-Graduation Work Permit, visit the IRCC webpage. 

Our team of International Student Advisors can assist you with the PGWP process via virtual workshops that show you when to apply, how to apply, and where to apply. Our International Student Advisors are here to guide you through the process, advise you on required documentation, and answer any of your outstanding questions. You can also register for a virtual workshop with one of our International Student Advisors. If you need further assistance, you can always connect with our International Student Advisors by booking a virtual or in-person appointment.
