How much does Post-graduation work permit (PGWP) cost and how long does it take?

Government fees and processing times can change and may differ by stream, country and family size. Confirm the live fee and processing-time controls on www.canada.ca immediately before paying or planning a deadline.

Practical order

1. 1

   Before enrolling, confirm that the exact institution and program appear as PGWP-eligible on the current DLI details page.

2. 2

   Check whether your credential is a bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate, another university program or a college/non-university program.

3. 3

   Confirm the current language threshold and whether the field-of-study requirement applies to the program and study-permit date.

4. 4

   Maintain the study conditions that matter to the PGWP rules and keep transcripts, completion letters and status records.

5. 5

   Near graduation, re-check the rules because DLI, program, CIP and language requirements can change.

6. 6

   Gather the completion evidence, language result when required, passport and status documents before the application deadline.
