Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
A Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international students who have completed a program at a Canadian post-secondary institution to work in Canada for a period equal to the length of their study, up to a maximum of three years.
An exception to this rule is that students who complete a two-year program are eligible for a three-year PGWP.
This open work permit provides graduates with the flexibility to gain valuable Canadian work experience in any field, which can be crucial for their pathway to permanent residency.
