The Canadian government has updated the criteria for the Post-Graduation Work Program (PGWP) for international students, effective February 15, 2024.
Students who have completed a master’s degree within two years may now qualify for a three-year PGWP, provided they meet all other requirements.
Canada’s website announced that as of September 1, 2024, foreign students enrolled in curriculum licensing agreement schemes will no longer be eligible for the PGWP.
Additionally, the special provisions for distance learning and PGWP will remain in effect.
The PGWP, established by Canada, is an unrestricted work permit granted to international students upon finishing their studies.
Holders have the freedom to work anywhere in Canada for any employer and as many hours as they wish.
The duration of their PGWP is determined by the level and duration of their studies and the expiry date of their passports, whichever comes first.
Regarding eligibility, foreign students must graduate from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and intend to temporarily work in Canada.
DLI’s are schools authorized by Canada’s provincial or territorial government to admit international students.
Graduates must verify their eligibility by consulting the DLI list before applying for the PGWP.
