Can you confirm that the post-study work permit will definitely be granted for three years after completing the program, and there will be no issues for a Master's?

No, a three-year post-study work permit (PGWP) is not guaranteed for every graduate. The final duration depends on your program length and meeting all eligibility criteria.

- Up to 3 years: For master's programs of at least 2 years, the typical PGWP is up to 3 years.
- Eligibility: You must maintain full-time student status, apply within 180 days of program completion, and meet all current requirements.
- Subject to change: Immigration policies and requirements, including language test rules, can change.

If you have specific concerns about your eligibility or application, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance.
