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).
IRCC has published new PGWP eligibility requirements for students who have applied for a study permit on or after June 25, 2025.
Students who have applied for a study permit before November 1, 2024 are not impacted by these changes and 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.
You can also view the list of PGWP-eligible programs for students who applied for a study permit or a PGWP between November 1, 2024 and June 24, 2025.
