Post-Graduation Work Permit

A Post-Graduation Work Permit, often called a PGWP, allows eligible graduates of certain Canadian designated learning institutions to work in Canada after completing their studies. This service assists eligible international graduates with preparing a complete and organized PGWP application, reviewing timing and eligibility, organizing completion documents, and addressing status issues that may affect the application.

Government fees are separate from the legal fee. The government fees for a Post-Graduation Work Permit are generally $255 total, made up of the $155 work permit fee and the $100 open work permit holder fee. Biometrics are generally $85 if required.
