Our PGWP service helps international graduates work anywhere in Canada, gain valuable experience, and fast-track your path to permanent residency. The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international graduates of eligible Canadian institutions to gain valuable Canadian work experience—an essential step toward permanent residency.
- Eligible Institutions: You must have graduated from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). Not every DLI program qualifies, so always check the DLI list to confirm your school’s status.
- Program Completion ≠ Automatic Eligibility: Simply finishing a program at a DLI doesn’t guarantee a PGWP. Your specific credential and institution must be on IRCC’s approved list.
- New Requirements (Nov 1, 2024): As of November 1, 2024, IRCC updated PGWP eligibility criteria.
Exemptions: If you submitted your PGWP application before Nov 1, 2024 or are a flight school graduate, you remain exempt from the new field-of-study and duration requirements.
