What is PGWP?

Each year, Canada welcomes thousands of foreign students to study at its colleges and institutions. When they finish their education, many of these students will be qualified for a post-graduate work permit.

PGWP aims to keep students by giving them the freedom to work for any Canadian business in any sector. The student has 180 days to submit an application for a post-graduate work permit following the conclusion of the study program (and the demonstration of written notification of eligibility for a degree, diploma, or certificate).
