What Are PGWP-Eligible Programs
International students interested in applying for a post-graduate work permit (PGWP) to potentially work in Canada after graduation must ensure their chosen program(s) align with the most current PGWP eligibility requirements outlined by Immigration, Refugees, & Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
To help you make an informed decision about your studies at Humber, you can review the provided list of PGWP Eligible Programs including the CIP Code (Classification of Instructional Programs) for each program as well as a PGWP Eligible check to more easily identify programs that align with IRCC PGWP eligibility criteria*. While this list is meant to support your experience, be sure to verify the CIP code with the most current information on the IRCC website.
Please note that students who applied for a study permit before November 1, 2024, are not required to graduate in an eligible field of study. Any study permit applications submitted on or after November 1, 2024, must graduate in an eligible field of study.
