Canada Drops Valid Study Permit Requirement for Post – Graduation Work Permit

Canada Drops Valid Study Permit Requirement

Canada has always been a welcoming place for international students who wish to build a better career for themselves. Students who pursue their education in Canada get the option to stay and work in Canada by obtaining a Post-Graduation Work Permit Visa and the Canadian Government has made it easier for students to obtain a PGWP Visa now.

The Canadian Government on the 14th of February announced that it has made some major changes to its Post-Graduate Work Permit Program. The changes were that the time period within which a student has to apply for a PGWP Visa once on receiving their final marks has been doubled from 90 to 180 days.

Another major change that the Government has introduced is that the students should have had their study permit visa valid at some point and it is not mandatory that the study permit should be valid when they apply for a PGWP Visa.

The Post Graduate Work Permit Visa, an open work permit visa and the most favoured one among students allow them to work in any of the Canadian provinces once getting done with their studies for a period of up to three years. On getting skilled work experience that falls under the NOC Categories A or B or 0, students can then apply for a Canadian PR Visa.

The made changes are actually huge news for international students who pursue their education in Canada and who are looking forward to applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit Visa. Removing the valid study visa requirement and doubling the application time means students get ample time to apply for a PGWP Visa which eventually will help them to get Canadian work experience paving the path for them to obtain a Canadian Permanent Resident Visa.

The PGWP serves as an ideal option for students who look forward to getting into Canada and obtain a Canadian PR. To know more about the PGWP Visa or to check your eligibility to migrate to Canada for free, get in touch with our experts now!
