Post study work visa options after graduating from Canada?

Canada offers several post-study work visa options for international graduates. The most common is the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), which allows graduates to work for up to three years, depending on the program length. Eligibility requires graduation from a designated learning institution and a program lasting at least eight months.

Other options include provincial nominee programs (PNPs) that fast-track permanent residency for skilled workers. Some graduates may also qualify for the Canadian Experience Class under Express Entry. Always verify current regulations on Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website, as policies may change.
