Canada Post Graduate Work Permit Program


The PGWPP is a great opportunity for students who are seeking Permanent Residence.  Those who qualify are authorized to remain in Canada with an Open Work Permit valid to the amount of time of study, up to three years maximum. Students who transition into the PGWPP after graduation can add their work experience to a Permanent Residence Program such as Express Entry!

Eligibility 

○ Must have a valid Study Permit when applying (Not Expired)

○ Studied full time in Canada at a Post-Secondary Institute (must be on the Designated Learning Institute List)

○ Graduate from a program 8 months or longer (Permits are only valid for the length of study)

○ A Letter from the Learning Institute that they are or will obtain a certificate, diploma, or degree at the time of applying.

*Workers can have an Open Work Permit equal to the study period.   Work extending beyond three years under the PGWP requires an LMIA.
