Canada has made another change to work permit eligibility for international students. Starting Thursday, June 26, international students in Canada in non-degree programs for 178 fields of study will no longer be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). You can check if your area of study is still eligible in Canada on the post-grad work permit site. Effective Nov. 1, 2024, graduating students in Canada applying for a work permit will only be eligible if they graduated from a list of approved programs. Removing these restrictions makes it easier for students to obtain a work permit upon graduation.
