Applications are being accepted as of Wednesday January 27 for current and former Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) holders in Canada to apply for an Open Work Permit to help them gather the experience they need to qualify for permanent residence.
Initially announced earlier in January by Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino, the new public policy is aimed at former international students who had their opportunity to qualify for permanent residence jeopardized by COVID-19.
Candidates with a PGWP that expired on or after January 30, 2020, and are still in Canada, will have a six-month window to apply for an 18-month Open Work Permit to help them continue to seek the work experience they need to qualify to stay in Canada long-term.
