Post-Graduate Work Permits (PGWP)

Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP)

The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has published new PGWP eligibility requirements for international students who have applied for a study permit on or after November 1, 2024.

This opportunity for international students allows them to live and work in Canada for up to three years after graduation.

College students who apply for their study permit on or after November 1, 2024 must graduate from a study program linked to certain occupations in long-term shortage to be eligible for the PGWP program.

PGWP Program Eligibility List

The following Northern College programs are PGWP eligible, aligning with IRCC field of study requirements as of December 4, 2024.

It is important to note that certain other programs eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), which are currently suspended for international students for the Fall 2025 intake, are not included in this list.

Please continue to monitor this site for any updates or changes to the list. This list may be updated with additional programs, so please check back often.
