Study & Work

International students who wish to work in Canada after graduation may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).

To qualify, students must graduate from a program in one of five priority fields: agriculture and agri-food, health care, science / technology / engineering / mathematics (STEM), trades, or transport.

Students who apply for a study permit before November 1, 2024, are not affected by these changes and remain eligible to apply for a PGWP regardless of their field of study.
