International students interested in working in Canada after they graduate may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit
Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has published new PGWP eligibility requirements for students who apply for a study permit on or after November 1, 2024, which include graduating from a program linked to one of five priority fields of study: agriculture and agri-food, healthcare, science/technology/engineering/mathematics, trade and transport. Students who apply for a study permit before November 1, 2024 are not impacted by these changes and will be eligible to apply for PGWP regardless of study program.
The following George Brown College programs are PGWP eligible and align with IRCC’s field of study requirements as of October 28, 2024. This list may be updated with additional programs or changes to term availability, so please check back often.
