Hopefully when your study permit was issued, it gave you an additional 90 days after your last day of class. If not, we strongly advise you extend your study permit to allow time to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).
In order to apply for your PGWP you will require your:
- Confirmation of Graduation Letter
- Final Transcript (the transcript must say Credential Awarded to be considered your final transcript).
These documents are typically available 5-6 weeks after the last day of class; you will be notified by email when the documents are available.
Learn more about the eligibility requirements for the PGWP and the length of the work permit you are eligible to receive.
Learn more about how to apply for PGWP: Post Graduation Work Permits (humber.ca).
Important Information: Your study permit must still be valid when you apply for a PGWP.
Tip: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provides processing times for all of their application types online (e.g., study permit, work permit, temporary resident visa). Become familiar with this page and check it frequently, as it is updated weekly.
