Certain designated learning Institutions offer it’s graduated students the eligibility to apply for the so-called post-graduate work permit which gives them an opportunity to gain Canadian work experience with a local employer. These graduates have 180 days after they get their final marks to apply for PGWP.

There are certain criteria’s and eligibility factors for the duration of the PGWP, so please contact our experts on time to avail the benefit.
