Yes, after completing your degree in Canada, you can search for jobs related to your previous experience.
To work in Canada after graduation, you must apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). The PGWP lets you work for any employer and gain Canadian experience, which can help with future permanent residency options.
- Program must be at least 8 months at a designated learning institution (DLI)
- Full-time student status required during your studies (except final semester)
- Apply within 180 days of receiving your final marks
PGWP rules and timelines are subject to change.
