Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about studying in Canada.

The PGWP is an open work permit for graduates of eligible Canadian programs. Programs of 2 years or more earn a 3-year permit, while shorter programs (minimum 8 months) earn a permit matching the program length. Master's degree graduates qualify for the full 3-year PGWP even if their program was under 2 years. Note that graduates of non-degree programs must now be in an eligible field of study, and language test results are required (CLB 7 for degree holders).
