Thanks for your interest in Seneca Polytechnic. International students interested in working in Canada after they graduate may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).
This permit is issued by the Government of Canada through Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The following Seneca programs are PGWP eligible as of the latest update from IRCC on July 4, 2025. This list may be updated frequently in response to IRCC changes, so please check back often. You can also view program availability for the upcoming terms.
If you applied for a study permit before November 1, 2024, you are not impacted by IRCC’s recent changes to PGWP-eligibility requirements. You will be eligible to apply for PGWP regardless of study program if you are continuing to study in your original program. This includes if you apply to the Work Integrated Learning Stream of your original program.
Please refer to the ‘Program Availability’ - ‘International Applicants’ section of your program page to check the PGWP eligibility timeline specific to your program.
