Canada has introduced reforms to the Post-Graduation Work Permit Programme (PGWPP), offering extended work permits for master’s degree graduates, aimed at enhancing opportunities for international students. The changes came into effect from February 15, 2024, and will benefit thousands of Indian students who pursue higher education in Canada.

What is the PGWPP and why is it important?

The PGWPP is a program that allows international students who have completed their studies in Canada to obtain an open work permit and work for any employer in Canada for up to three years. The work permit is valid for the same duration as the study program, up to a maximum of three years.

The PGWPP is an important pathway for international students who wish to gain Canadian work experience and apply for permanent residency in Canada. The work experience gained through the PGWPP can help the students qualify for various immigration programs, such as the Canadian Experience Class, the Federal Skilled Worker Program, and the Provincial Nominee Program.

What are the key changes in the PGWPP?

The Canadian government has announced two major changes in the PGWPP, which are as follows:

  • Graduates from master’s degree programs of less than two years will now be eligible for a three-year post-graduation work permit (PGWP), provided they meet other PGWP eligibility criteria. This will allow them to fulfill the necessary Canadian work experience criteria for their permanent residency applications.
  • Graduates from programs offered under curriculum licensing agreements between a Canadian institution and a foreign institution will no longer be eligible for a PGWP, starting from September 1, 2024. This will ensure that the PGWPP supports international students who have a genuine interest in studying and working in Canada.

How will the changes impact Indian students?

The changes in the PGWPP will have a positive impact on Indian students who pursue master’s degree programs in Canada. According to the official data, India was the top source country for international students in Canada in 2023, with 220,000 study permit holders. Out of these, 25,000 were enrolled in master’s degree programs.

The extension of the PGWP duration for master’s degree graduates will give them more time and flexibility to gain valuable work experience and apply for permanent residency in Canada. This will also make Canada more attractive and competitive as a study destination for Indian students, who are looking for quality education and career opportunities abroad.

The restriction of the PGWP eligibility for curriculum licensing agreement programs will not affect Indian students much, as these programs are not very popular among them. However, Indian students who are interested in such programs should be aware of the new rules and plan their post-graduation options accordingly.

How to apply for a PGWP?

If you are an international student who has completed your studies in Canada and wish to apply for a PGWP, you can do so online or from outside Canada. You have 180 days from the date your final marks are issued or your degree is granted to apply for a PGWP.

You will need to submit the following documents along with your application:

  • A copy of your passport
  • A copy of your study permit
  • A copy of your transcript or degree or diploma or certificate
  • A letter from your institution confirming the completion of your program
  • A fee of $255 CAD

You can check the status of your application online and receive your decision by email. If your application is approved, you will receive a letter of introduction and a work permit. You can start working in Canada as soon as you receive your work permit.

Canada has extended the work permit duration for master’s degree holders, making it easier for them to gain Canadian work experience and apply for permanent residency. This is a welcome change for Indian students who aspire to study and work in Canada.
