Work Permit: PGWP Canada
Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
Your Pathway to Gaining Canadian Work Experience with Liberty Immigration Services
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international students who have graduated from a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada to gain valuable work experience. This open work permit does not require a job offer, providing flexibility and opportunities for graduates to work for any employer in Canada.
Eligibility Criteria for PGWP
Graduation from a DLI
To be eligible for a PGWP, you must have graduated from a program at a designated learning institution (DLI) that is eligible for the PGWP program. Your program must have been at least eight months long and completed in Canada.
Application Timing
You must apply for a PGWP within 180 days of receiving written confirmation (such as a transcript or official letter) from your institution indicating that you have met the requirements for completing your program of study.
Full-time Study Requirement
You must have maintained full-time student status in Canada during each academic session of the program or programs of study you completed, except for your final academic session, which can be part-time.
Application Steps For PGWP
Eligibility Assessment
We begin by assessing your eligibility for the PGWP, including verifying your graduation from a PGWP-eligible DLI and your adherence to the full-time study requirement.
Document Preparation
We assist you in preparing the necessary documents, such as your graduation certificate, transcripts, proof of identity, and any other supporting materials required by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Application Submission
Submit your PGWP application online through the IRCC portal within 180 days of receiving your graduation confirmation. Our team ensures that all documents are complete and meet IRCC standards.

After submission, your application is processed by IRCC. Processing times can vary, but we provide regular updates and address any queries or additional document requests from IRCC.
Decision and Follow-Up
Once a decision is made, we assist with the final steps, including understanding your rights and responsibilities as a PGWP holder and preparing for employment in Canada. If approved, you will receive your PGWP and can begin working in Canada.
