Once the Canadian post-graduate work visa starts, is there a time limit within which I need to get a job?

No, there is no specific time limit to secure a job after your Canadian Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) is approved. The PGWP is an open work permit, so you can work for any employer or take your time to find the right job.

However, the PGWP is typically valid for up to three years, depending on your study program length. Once it expires, you cannot continue working unless you have another valid permit or status.

Finding a job sooner can help you gain Canadian experience, which is valuable if you plan to apply for permanent residency.
