Post-graduation work permit planning
A post-graduation work permit can be a one-time opportunity. Eligibility rules, programme requirements and application timing all need attention before you graduate.
Overview
Understanding post-graduation work permit
Eligibility depends on the institution, programme length, study status and how the application is timed after completion.
We review your study history, confirm eligibility considerations and prepare the application with the required completion evidence.
Immigration programs, requirements, processing procedures and timelines may change. Visitors should verify current requirements through official Government of Canada sources or discuss their individual circumstances with a qualified professional.
