Post-study work & PR in Canada
⚠️ Immigration and settlement rules change often — treat this as a starting point and confirm the current rules before you rely on them.
- After you graduate
- A Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) of up to 3 years, depending on your programme length. Recent rules add language-test and (for college programmes) field-of-study requirements — check your eligibility early.
- PR / settlement
- Study is a recognised stepping-stone to PR through Express Entry and the Provincial Nominee Programs — but permit volumes and PR selection have both tightened recently. Strong outcomes, a higher bar than a few years ago.
