Frequently Asked Questions

TRU graduates are eligible for Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Permit length matches your study program duration (e.g., 1-year program = 1-year PGWP; 2+ years = up to 3 years). TRU’s Designated Learning Institution (DLI) status (#O19395977622) ensures eligibility. Co-op work hours do not count toward PGWP length.
Apply within 180 days of receiving your final grades or program completion letter. You must hold valid study permit status when applying. TRU’s Immigration Advising team offers application workshops, document checklists, and 1-on-1 support. Processing takes 80-180 days; you can work full-time while awaiting approval if applied before study permit expiry.
Yes. PGWP experience qualifies for PR pathways like: Canadian Experience Class (CEC): 1 year skilled work in Canada. BC Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP): TRU grads get priority via "International Graduate" stream.
