Work restrictions and Post Study Work in Canada

Work restrictions and PGWP.

International Students are allowed to work 24 hours per week off-campus during academic session and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks. Working on-campus is also unrestricted, meaning students can work unlimited hours on-campus.

 

What is PGPW?

A post-graduation work permit (PGWP) is an open work permit that allows eligible international students to work and live in Canada up to 3 years after graduation. As an open work permit, it is not necessary to have a prior job offer to exercise this rule.

 

PR pathway.

Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

This is one of the most popular pathways to PR for international students and perhaps one of the fastest as well. Graduates from a Designated Learning Institute (DLI) can apply for PR through Express Entry. They need at least 1 year’s worth of work experience in the relevant field and a minimum language score of CLB 9 to 7.

 

Provincial Nominee Programs. (PNP)

Each province has a specific nominee program. To learn more about PR through the Provincial Nominee Program, book a consultation class at Noble International Consultancy.
