COVID-19 Update – May 19, 2020 – Update on Eligibility for Post-Graduation Work Permits

On May 14 2020, the IRCC confirmed that the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP) eligibility will not be affected for international students if their Fall 2020 courses will be online due to COVID-19. 

Students in this situation may begin their classes while outside Canada and complete up to 50% of their program via distance learning if they cannot travel to Canada sooner. 

In addition, they will not have time deducted from the length of a future post-graduation work permit for studies completed outside of Canada, up to December 31, 2020. 

More information can be found on IRCC’s website

**Please note: Humber is still evaluating options for fall program delivery and how we may be able to adapt in-person education to meet health and safety requirements.
