Since this is for Canada, after completion of this graduation, how many years of post-study work permit (PSW) will I get for a Master's?

You can get a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) for up to 3 years after completing your master's degree in Canada, provided your program is at least 8 months long.

The PGWP allows you to work for any employer in Canada. It's a one-time, non-renewable permit, and you must apply within 180 days of finishing your program. Make sure your passport is valid for the full duration of the PGWP.
