Post-Graduate Work Permit

Study and graduation

It is entirely up to the student to get through this stage. We recommend that you study hard, complete projects and assignments on time, and never miss classes.

PGWP and moving toward Permanent Residence

The duration of your PGWP will depend on how many years your program of study lasted: if your program was shorter than 2 years, your PGWP will be the same as the duration of your program of study, but if your program of study was longer than 2 years, you may apply for a 3-year PGWP.

Finding an employer and securing a job to gain the necessary work experience.
Usually, you need 1-2 years of qualified work experience (NOC 0, A, B) to be eligible for most of the immigration programs.

You can then prepare the required application package for the Canadian Experience Class program through Express Entry or the provincial and pilot programs available to former students. Almost every province is interested in attracting students and retaining them.

Once you have become a Permanent Resident (and have lived in Canada for 2-3 years), you can apply for citizenship.

An undeniable advantage of immigration through education is that Canada is interested in specialists with a local degree, who possess good English skills and are already familiar with the country's culture and lifestyle.

Both the educational system and visa stages are well thought out, aiming to enable foreign students to study, find employment, and settle permanently in Canada.

It is essential to recognize that an immigrant in Canada is not a second-class citizen, but rather one of the many educated and successful professionals who make Canada their second home, allowing them to realize the potential that is often unclaimed in their country of origin.
