Post Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP)
If you have completed a graduate degree from a designated learning institution (DLI), then you could apply for Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP).
PGWPP Facts:
Documents to be submitted for the PGWP application:
In case the Study Permit is expiring before the required documents even then you must apply for an extension on the study permit you had. The Government fee to extend the Study Permit is $150.00 and the processing time for the same is 60 days (online). There are 90 days after your Study Permit’s expiration date to restore the status and get an extension. The restoration and extension process would take around 80 days (online) and the cost for the same is $350.00.
Also once the PGWP application is approved, your spouse or common-law partner is also eligible to get an open work permit. However, once you have applied for PGWP and your application is under process, you can work full-time until the decision is there. If there is rejection then the work needs to be stopped.
Thus these are certain things that need to be followed for PGWP.
