The length of the PGWP is typically based on the length of the study program. Programs shorter than 8 months are not eligible. Programs between 8 months and 2 years may qualify for a PGWP valid for the same length as the program. Programs of 2 years or more may qualify for a PGWP of up to 3 years.

To be eligible, students must graduate from a designated learning institution (DLI). A DLI is a school approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students.

Applicants must apply for the PGWP within 180 days of completing their studies. They must have a valid study permit at the time of application.

The PGWP is an open work permit, allowing graduates to work for any employer, in any occupation, and in any location in Canada.

Time spent studying online from outside Canada may affect the length of the PGWP. Recent temporary policies allowed some online study to count towards PGWP eligibility, but these policies are subject to change.

Graduates can use the Canadian work experience gained through the PGWP to apply for permanent residency through various pathways, such as the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Express Entry.

A student is generally only eligible for one PGWP in their lifetime. This means that if a student completes multiple programs of study, they can only apply for a PGWP after completing one of them.

Certain programs of study may not be eligible for the PGWP. It is important to verify the eligibility of the program with the DLI and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The PGWP is not automatically granted. Applicants must meet all eligibility requirements and submit a complete application.

Changes to immigration policies can impact the PGWP program. It is crucial to stay updated on the latest announcements and guidelines from IRCC.
