A decade of files, decisions and outcomes across every major Canadian pathway.

Technical reference Eligibility and pathway detail | |
|---|---|
| Stage | What happens |
| Study permit | Enrolled at a DLI, in a program that preserves PGWP eligibility |
| PGWP | Open work permit issued after graduation; length tied to program duration |
| Canadian experience | 12 months of skilled work (TEER 0–3) builds CEC eligibility |
| Permanent residence | Applied for via Express Entry or a provincial graduate stream |
Yes, since November 2024. PGWP eligibility depends on studying in a field IRCC considers aligned with labour market needs — healthcare, STEM, trades, agriculture, and education are among the eligible categories.
A PAL confirms a study permit applicant's spot counts within a province's allocation. Most, though not all, applicants need one since the 2024 rule changes; requirements vary by province and study level.
Most full-time study permit holders can work off-campus up to the hours currently permitted by IRCC policy, and full-time during scheduled breaks, provided the study permit authorizes this.
