What is the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)?

The PGWP allows students who have graduated from a designated learning institution (DLI) to obtain an open work permit. Depending on the duration of your study program (minimum 8 months up to 2 years or more), you can receive an open work permit valid for up to 3 years, giving you enough time to fulfill Canadian work experience requirements for PR.

Transitioning from Student Visa to Canadian PR

Working in Canada on a PGWP allows you to build valuable Canadian work experience under TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 categories. This experience qualifies you for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Express Entry or various Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), making studying abroad one of the highest-success routes to permanent residency.
