Can international students work in Canada after graduation?

Yes, international students who have completed a program of study at a recognized Canadian institution, such as UVic, are eligible to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). The PGWP allows graduates to work in Canada for a period corresponding to the length of their study program, up to a maximum of three years. This work experience can be valuable for those seeking to apply for permanent residency through Canada's Express Entry system

How can I apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)?

To apply for a PGWP, graduates must submit an application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) within 180 days of receiving their final transcript or an official letter confirming the completion of their program. The application can be completed online or on paper, and applicants must provide necessary documents, including proof of graduation and a valid study permit. It is important to ensure that all application materials are complete and submitted within the specified timeframe to avoid delays.
