On September 18, 2024, Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced new requirements related to eligibility for a Post-graduation Work Permit. Applicants who apply for their study permit on or after November 1, 2024 must graduate from a program in specific fields of study that are linked to long-term labour shortages. Please review the list of George Brown programs that are still eligible for a PGWP.
International students, graduating from a post-secondary program may be eligible to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) that is valid from 8 months to up to three (3) years, depending on the duration of the academic program successfully completed.
