Yes, financial technology (FinTech) courses can be eligible for Canada's Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), as long as they meet certain criteria.
- The program must be offered by a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
- It must lead to a diploma, degree, or certificate of at least 8 months.
- The program’s Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code must be on the list of eligible fields.
As of January 2026, the list of PGWP-eligible CIP codes remains unchanged - no new fields have been added or removed.
The PGWP is a one-time opportunity, so be sure your chosen program and institution meet current requirements.
