How to Get a PGWP (Post-Graduation Work Permit) in Canada
Want to stay and work in Canada after graduation? Earning a PGWP is your key to a successful career and future opportunities!
Step 1: Wait for the Program Graduation
PGWP can only be obtained by graduates of Canadian educational institutions. Once you have your diploma, certificate, or other document that proves you have successfully completed your program, you will have 180 days to apply for a permit.
Step 2: Submission of the Application
Canadian authorities have simplified the application process. All you need is:
A computer with a video camera
Certified electronic copies of the diploma with grades
A letter from your university confirming completion of the program
Bank card to pay for the permit
All this can be done online, which saves you a lot of time.
Step 3: Pay attention to the deadlines
It is important to have a valid visa at the time of application. If the visa expires before 180 days, act quickly. If your visa expires immediately after completing your studies, you still have 90 days to apply for PGWP.
