FAQ's

1. What is a Post Graduation Work Permit

Post-graduation work permit (PGWP) is a document issued by the government of Canada that allows international students who have graduated from eligible Canadian institutions to work in Canada after their studies for a specific period.

2. How much of your online studies counts towards a PGWP?

To qualify for a PGWP, you need to finish a minimum of 50% of your program in Canada, whether through online or in-person classes. Any online study completed outside Canada before August 31, 2024, will be included in the calculation of your PGWP duration, provided it doesn’t exceed 50% of your total program duration.

3. What is the validity of the Post graduation Work permit (PGWP)?

The validity of a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) can range from 8 months to up to 3 years. However, the duration of your permit is contingent upon the length of the study program you completed in Canada unless you have graduated from a master’s degree program.

4.When must you apply for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) after finishing your studies?

You have up to 180 days, which is about six months, after you graduate to apply for a PGWP. But, to qualify, your study permit must have been valid at some point during those 180 days.

5.Do you need a valid Study permit to apply for the Post graduation Work permit ?

Even though you have 180 days to apply for a PGWP after your graduation date, it’s crucial to note that if you apply after your study permit has expired, you won’t have legal implied status and cannot work legally in Canada until you receive your PGWP.

6.Will i get an implied status after applying my Post graduation Work permit?

You’ll only receive implied status if you have a valid study permit and apply within 90 days of your graduation date for a PGWP (Post-Graduation Work Permit). This means that while your PGWP application is being processed, you can stay in Canada legally and may be eligible to work

7.Will the work experience I gained before receiving the PGWP count towards permanent residency?

Yes, the work experience gained before receiving the PGWP may count towards permanent residency if you were on implied status. This means that your study permit was valid when you applied for the PGWP, and you submitted your PGWP application within 90 days of your graduation.

8.What are the most important factors to consider when applying for a PGWP?

Fill out the application form accurately, ensuring all details are correct. Submit the required fee amount as specified and include all necessary documents. If you have any uncertainties, seek legal advice promptly. This opportunity is one in lifetime, so it’s crucial not to take any risks.
