Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s novel Post-Graduation Work visa provides eligible foreign students graduating from a participating post-secondary Canadian institution with the thrilling opportunity to gain Canadian work experience related to their field of studies.
Once granted, work permit holders can gain Canadian experience and put their recently gained knowledge to use in the Canadian labor market. They may also be eligible for the new Canadian Experience Class program for permanent residence. A work permit under the Post-Graduation Work visa is granted for the duration equating to the length of a student’s study program, or up to three years, depending on the program.
