The Canadian government has expanded the window during which international students may apply for a post-study work permit
Students may also apply from outside of Canada, and no longer require a valid study permit during the entire application period
International students who want to work in Canada following their studies at a Canadian institution will have more time to apply for the country’s popular Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). The PGWP allows international students who have completed a programme of at least eight months’ duration to stay on to work in Canada for up to three years, experience that can count towards a future application for permanent residency in the country.
