Secure Your Future with the Post-Graduation Work Permit in Canada

The transition from a student to a professional in the Canadian workforce is a pivotal moment for international graduates. The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) program is a key facilitator of this transition, offering graduates from Canadian post-secondary institutions the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in Canada. Ays Immigration specializes in guiding students through the PGWP application process, ensuring a smooth shift to your professional life in Canada.

The PGWP allows students who have completed a program at an eligible Canadian post-secondary institution to obtain an open work permit, providing the freedom to work for any employer in Canada. This invaluable experience not only enhances your resume but also can be a critical step towards securing permanent residency in Canada.

To qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit, applicants must:

Have completed a study program at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) that lasted at least eight months.
Apply for the PGWP within 180 days of receiving written confirmation (like a transcript or an official letter) from the institution that you have met the requirements of your program.
Have maintained full-time student status in Canada during each academic session of the program or programs of study completed and included as part of their post-graduation work permit application, with certain exceptions for leave from studies and final academic session.

Gather Documentation: This includes your passport, study permit, official letter of completion, and academic transcripts.
