๐จ๐ฆ **Canada PGWP: Check Before You Choose Your College!** ๐
Planning to study in Canada? Your choice of institution and program can affect your eligibility for a **Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)**.
A Canadian qualification does not automatically guarantee a PGWP. Here are 4 important things every international student should know:
๐น **1. DLI Status Is Not Enough**
A Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is not automatically PGWP-eligible. Always verify whether your specific program qualifies.
๐น **2. Field of Study Matters**
Certain college and non-degree programs must meet eligible field-of-study requirements. Bachelorโs, masterโs and doctoral degree graduates are exempt from this particular requirement, although other PGWP conditions still apply.
๐น **3. Language Requirements Apply**
Most PGWP applicants must demonstrate language proficiency:
โข University bachelorโs, masterโs and doctoral degree graduates: CLB/NCLC 7
โข College and other eligible non-university program graduates: CLB/NCLC 5
๐น **4. Check the Latest IRCC Rules**
Eligibility can depend on your program, study permit application date and other individual circumstances. Verify the latest requirements before paying tuition fees.
โ
**Before enrolling, verify your institution, program, field of study and applicable PGWP requirements.**
