SOURCE-BACKED ANSWER

How do I complete Post-graduation work permit (PGWP)?

Check the exact institution, program, credential, field-of-study, language, study-duration and application-timing rules. A DLI or program does not automatically make a graduate eligible. Start with the reviewed official source, follow the current actions and submit through your own government account.

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.
