Which courses should I look for that offer a five years work permit in Canada/Germany for a Master's?
14 Jul 2026 · Answered by Vandna Rani · 1 min read
No, there are currently no courses in Canada or Germany that directly offer a five-year work permit after graduation.
- Canada: The maximum Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) duration is 3 years for eligible master's programs (as of February 15, 2024), regardless of program length. Shorter programs may lead to shorter PGWPs.
- Germany: After graduation, you can apply for a job search residence permit valid for up to 18 months. This is for finding a job related to your degree, and longer residence is possible only after securing employment.
If you want longer work opportunities after graduation, focus on programs that maximize the current post-study work visa durations.
