Extend Your Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) – Expert Guidance for a Smooth Application

If you're an international graduate in Canada with a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) that's nearing its expiration, you may be eligible for an extension of up to 18 months. This special initiative from the Canadian government is designed to support international graduates while addressing labor shortages across the country. Here’s everything you need to know about extending your PGWP.

Who is Eligible for the PGWP Extension?

  1. PGWPs Expiring: If your PGWP is set to expire or has already expired, you may qualify to apply for an 18-month open work permit extension.

  2. PGWPs Expired: If your PGWP expired during this period, you are also eligible to apply for this extension.

  3. Status Restoration: Even if your PGWP expired beyond the usual 90-day status restoration period, you can still restore your status and receive interim work authorization while your new permit is being processed.

Can You Work While Waiting for Your PGWP Extension?

Absolutely! You are allowed to continue working while your PGWP extension application is under review. An interim work permit will be issued to cover this waiting period, ensuring that you can maintain your employment without interruption.

Why Apply for the PGWP Extension?

This extension not only allows you to remain in Canada and continue contributing to the workforce but also supports the country’s economic recovery efforts. With ongoing labor shortages exacerbated by the pandemic, your skills and experience are more valuable than ever.
