After two years of study, can I get a work visa sponsored by a company in Ireland/Canada for a Master's?

Yes, after completing two years of study, you can apply for a work visa sponsored by a company in both Canada and Ireland.
- Canada: If you complete a program of at least 2 years at an eligible institution, you can get a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) valid for up to 3 years. This lets you work for any employer and gain Canadian work experience.
- Ireland: Graduates with a master’s degree (Level 9) can stay and work for up to 24 months under the Third Level Graduate Programme. This allows you to seek employment and potentially be sponsored by a company.
Visa policies and durations are subject to change.
