Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)

Post Graduation Work Permit also known as PGWP is meant to withhold skilled foreign students in Canada. Eligible international students can study and later work in Canada thereby contributing to the country’s economy.

PGWP enables students to work in Canada who have graduated from an eligible Canadian designated learning institution (DLI). A DLI is an educational institution approved by the provincial or territorial government for hosting international students. A PGWP allows you to work in the Canadian job market and gain work experience. You can get a PGWP only once and it is non-renewable. Validity of the PGWP depends on the length of the study program you are enrolled in. A PGWP can be valid for upto three years.

Note: Students who fail to meet the requirements of their study permits due to any circumstance will not be eligible to apply for PGWP.
