Post-Graduation in Canada

About This Service

PGWP is a game work permit that certain graduates of eligible institutions and programs can obtain. Studying at a DLI alone does not guarantee a PGWP. The type of institution, the program, the duration of the course, the date of the Study Permit request and compliance with the study conditions are all important.

Eligibility

The applicant should usually:

  • has completed an eligible PGWP program at an eligible DLI;
  • received the official certificate of completion of the program;
  • Apply within the deadline after receiving the confirmation of completion of the course;
  • has met the conditions of full-time education, except for the permitted exceptions;
  • Prove the language condition related to the type of document;
  • In the non-degree programs included, meet the condition of the eligible field of study;
  • At the time of application, have a suitable immigration status or check the possibility of restoring the status.

The rules of the language and field of study depend on the type of degree and the date of the initial Study Permit application and must be updated before submitting the application.

Professional Fees

Professional fees are determined after reviewing the applicant’s circumstances, immigration history, number of family members, the complexity of the matter, and the scope of services required. To receive an assessment and fee information, please book a professional consultation. After the assessment, the services, professional fees, and payment terms will be confirmed in a written retainer agreement.

Government processing fees, biometrics, medical examinations, translations, credential assessments, courier charges, and other third-party costs are separate from professional fees unless the written agreement expressly states otherwise.
