Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) Updates 2020

COVID-19 is taking the world by storm and several international students are anxious. Will the shift from regular classroom courses to an online system affect their Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility? What is a PGWP? A PGWP is an official document that allows you to stay in Canada after graduation and work.The Post Graduate Work Permit allows students one year to three years after graduation to gain Canadian work experience. Work experience and education in Canada help students well integrate in the labor market. They also have higher chances of receiving a PR invitation. PGWP before COVID-19 Earlier, international students must have studied fulltime in a program in Canada at least eight months to qualify for PGWP. But recently, there have been some reforms made by the Government of Canada. The Government has tried to make its immigration policies more flexible even though this is a temporary effort. PGWP after COVID-19 Amidst preventative measures of Coronavirus, many programs have assumed an online presence. PGWP eligibility is being offered to students enrolled in such programs by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This applies to students who have a study permit and begin a new program this May or June as well. Students outside Canada can continue their education online for up to half of their program due to the travel restrictions. Furthermore, they won’t have time deducted from the length of a future post-graduation work license. Effective for coursework finished outside of Canada, up to December 31, 2020. In a nutshell, international students commencing programs in the coming weeks online will not suffer drawbacks. Did you know? Nearly 60% students depend on PGWP as a steppingstone paving way to the PR process in Canada. International students who have their hopes and dreams built around Canada will receive the IRCC’s temporary amends well. In 2018, nearly 54,000 former students became permanent residents in Canada and they make up for 170, 000 jobs alone.

Applying for PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit) in Canada

In order to apply you must meet the following requirements: You must have continuously studied in a full-time program of study in Canada, with the exception of your last academic semester You must apply for a work permit within 90 days of receiving written confirmation from your institution indicating that you have met the requirements for completing your academic program (for example, a transcript or an official letter –see below). Your study permit must be valid at the time of application. IMPORTANT!  The date of completion of your academic program is NOT the same as the date of convocation (your graduation ceremony).  Do NOT wait until convocation to apply, as convocation may occur more than 90 days after you have completed the requirements for your program. PLEASE NOTE: You can only apply for a PGWP once in your lifetime. If you plan to complete more than 1 degree/diploma/certificate in Canada, consider carefully when it would be most strategic to take advantage of this one-time opportunity.   Proof of Completion of Program Requirements IMPORTANT: If you were part-time in your final term of studies only, you must upload a proof of graduation letter (see below) and an official transcript indicating full-time enrolment in all terms prior to your final term. If you have a gap in your studies, or if you were part-time in a semester other than your final term, we recommend that you speak to an Immigration Advisor before applying for your PGWP. Your degree is officially granted once McGill Senate has met. After Senate has met to confirm your graduation, you can generate a letter directly from Minerva that confirms that you have met all the requirements to graduate (Minerva: Student Menu > Student Records > Letters-Proof of Enrolment)   Please note that you can only request this exceptional letter once: your final grades have been posted on Minerva OR your final thesis/project has been accepted by your department.   How to Apply for the Post-Graduation Work Permit You can apply for a post graduation work permit, Online OR At a Port of Entry (Terrestrial/Land Border* or Airport) *Canada/US terrestrial border (Lacolle/Champlain, St. Armand/Phillipsburg, or Stanstead) Applying At a Port of Entry: To be eligible to apply at the border, you must be TRV-exempt* *Even if you were required to have a TRV/Entry Visa to enter Canada, you are TRV-exempt if you are traveling only to the US and back with a valid Study Permit or Work Permit – see IRPA Section 190 (3) (f)).  Please note, however, that not all agents are familiar with this.....
