What This Is
The Post-graduation work permit (PGWP) is a work permit administered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). To work in Canada after graduating, you need a work permit.
The official page states that graduates of certain designated learning institutions (DLIs) are eligible for a post-graduation work permit.
Who May Be Eligible
According to the official page, the PGWP is for graduates of "certain designated learning institutions." This means not every school or program automatically qualifies; eligibility depends on whether the institution you attended is a designated learning institution.
The official content this guide is based on does not list a complete school list, program list, study duration requirements, or program type requirements. These details should be checked on the official page.
If You Are Not Eligible for a PGWP
The official page states that if you are not eligible for a PGWP, you may still be able to work in Canada after you graduate.
The page also states that the work experience you gain while working may help you qualify for permanent residence.
The official page directs readers to learn more about other types of work permits they may be eligible for. The specific types are listed on the official page.
Fees
The official page lists:
- PGWP: CAD $255
- Restoration of student status: the page shows a fee loading error; check the official fee list
Beyond the above, the official content this guide is based on does not list other fee items.
Processing Times
The official page provides a "Check processing times" link but does not state a specific number of days in the page text. Processing times change, so the result shown at the time of checking should be used.
Where to Check and How to Apply
The official page itself is the entry point for the PGWP, including eligibility information, processing time checks, and fee checks. The specific application steps, required documents, and submission methods are governed by that official page and the pages it links to.
The official content this guide is based on does not list specific addresses, phone numbers, or paper submission locations, so none are provided here.
