Because of the unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on international students and the postsecondary sector, temporary policy amendments have been made to the eligibility conditions for post-graduation work permits (PGWP).
The Government of Canada announced that such changes will be for students enrolled in PGWP-eligible programs in March 2020 and students who began or will begin PGWP-eligible programs between spring 2020 and fall 2021.
Key Takeaways:
These students must either hold a study permit, have been approved for a study permit, or file a study permit application prior to beginning their program and eventually be approved to be eligible for the temporary policy adjustments to the PGWP.
After the department receives the study permit application, time spent studying outside of Canada begins to count towards the PGWP length.
As a result, studies completed prior to the department receiving the study permit application can be deducted from the length of the PGWP.
It is worth noting that a PGWP can only be issued for a maximum of 8 months, so if a student only completes seven months of studies after applying for a study permit, they will not be eligible for a PGWP.
Prior to beginning their studies, students need to apply for their study permits.
