New Graduates in Canada in need of a PGWP or Post Graduate Work Permit

Post-Graduate Work Permit

POST-GRADUATE WORK PERMIT

Are you a foreign student at a post-secondary designated learning institution in Canada? If yes, then you are  eligible to apply for a Post Gradation Work Permit (PGWP) after you graduate.

A new graduate holding his diploma, and needs a post graduate work permit, or pgwp in Canada.

Eligibility Criteria

You must apply for your PGWP within 180 days after receiving your final marks.

You must maintain your temporary resident status in Canada: you can’t let your status expire while you are waiting for your marks.  If your study permit will expire before you get your marks, you have 2 options. You can

  • apply for a visitor record to stay in Canada longer, or
  • leave Canada and apply for your PGWP

If you stay in Canada and let your permit expire, you must apply to restore your status as a student to apply for your PGWP.

NOTE: PGWP’s are valid from several months to 3 years, depending on how long the program of study is.
