Understand your PGWP eligibility and turn Canadian study into Canadian work experience.
A Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) is an open work permit that allows eligible graduates of a Canadian post-secondary program to gain full-time Canadian work experience after completing their studies.
Eligibility depends on factors including the length and type of your program, whether you studied full-time, and whether you applied within the required timeline after receiving your final marks.
Not every program or institution leads to a valid PGWP. Whether your Designated Learning Institution and specific program are PGWP-eligible can significantly affect your options after graduation — this is why we review it before you apply to study, wherever possible, and always before you apply for the permit.
We help you prepare a complete PGWP application, confirm your maintained-status position while it is processed, and avoid the timing mistakes that most commonly lead to refusals.
The work experience gained on a PGWP can later support a Canadian Experience Class application under Express Entry, or strengthen a provincial nomination. We help you plan this transition early rather than leaving it until your permit is close to expiring.
From confirming eligibility before you apply, to preparing your PGWP application and mapping your next immigration step, we support you through the full transition from graduate to Canadian work permit holder.
