8 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PGWP | Work after Graduation

[@boywithturban1403]

I have seen 1P videos of you,and you are so informative 🤩🌙🦄

[@anaasoriano]

Grabe, you’re back at it again! 😅 Thank you so much! 😍

[@rrdancel]

HAHAHA my marketing voice is so weird sometimes haha, but thanks for your support since I started dear

[@anaasoriano]

rrdancel You’re most welcome! Ate, can you please make a video regarding IELTS? Mga tips and tricks if possible. Hehe, thank you po!

[@ryucharie33]

Hi Rachel!. Thank you for your videos. Its very helpful.

[@copilot737]

Hi, Rachel! Just a small correction - the PGWP is not a really open work permit for some of the trainings. For example, I am planning to train in flight centre in Canada in order to obtain an instructor rating. And here what IRCC thinks of the PGWP for flight graduates. Please, note the last sentence. Basically, it means that I will not get PGWP without having a job offer from flight centre which is on the list of DLI. Very strong limitation :( To be eligible for a PGWP, a flight school graduate must meet all the eligibility requirements listed above, and one of the following: have completed a flight training course at a DLI training centre and now have a Canadian commercial pilot’s licence or have or be in the process of getting an instructor’s rating and a job offer as a flight instructor from a DLI flight training centre

Hi Rachel. 😊 I'm currenly doing a marathon at ur vids XD they're soo helpful, I just got my student visa approved and it's really wrecking my nerves cause Im gonna travel and be living on my own 😅. So thank you 🙏

[@LJournals101]

Very useful tips, Rachel, salamat! 1. Are Marketing/Communication jobs more abundant in Toronto and Vancouver? 2. You can only apply for PR once you have 1 year solid Canadian experience - can you add your part time work while studying, or does it need to be related to your course? Kung kulang sa 1 year work experience, you can add from your full time job once you have one after graduation ? Then you can apply for PR na, tama po ba? 3. Do you need to take IELTS since Academic IELTS is different sa General IELTS for immigrant application? 4. Only concern is, is 1 year enough to look for a job with your PGWP in such trying times like the pandemic? Or better take the 2 year course but is this less beneficial for older applicants 45+ who are pressed for time? May bias po ba for older applicants sa work dyan? 5. What also happens to your PGWP once you've gained a fulltime job - is it converted to a work permit by your new employer? Thanks so much.

Hello, Rach. May I ask for your insights on these questions? 1. SP is with spouse (OWP). Does the SP have to find a job that falls under TEER 123 inorder for the OWP to extend work permit? 2. Is a job necessary in order to apply for PGWP? If so, does it need to be full time? Thank you.

[@victorberti4277]

Hello! First of all thank you for all the incredible and informative content! I was wondering if this "combination of 1-year courses" must be within the same institution or if you are allowed to do 2 different courses in 2 different institutions (maybe even different provinces). I'd be glad if you could answer this :)

Can you make a video on what’s next after PGWP?

[@keemo_6feet342]

Hey , can you travel outside Canada with your pgwp and enter back with it ?

[@francisganibi8287]

if BOWP doesnt work for you, you can also apply Work permit tied up with your Current Employer. that's what i did coz i was still waiting for my Application Number for PR when my PGWP expires.

[@rrdancel]

That’s also a good idea but unfortunately mine wasn’t onboard 🤷‍♀️😂 oh well, life!

Hi Rachael! You 1 year program, was it an Undergraduate or a Graduate program??

[@anthoniaadiele4758]

Thanks for always sharing your knowledge. please what options does one have if they are about to graduate from a two year diploma in an institution which does not offer PGWP. how long do they have at the end of the program and Will they have enough time to apply for masters? how does this affect their PR dream.

[@alanl6627]

Some of the courses that I am planning to enroll, says that the duration of the program is 1.5 to 2 years. What does this mean and how will IRCC consider the duration of such courses ? Seriously confused and unable to get any solid answers.

[@rrdancel]

It really depends on the visa officer reviewing your file. Some would be feeling generous to give the 3-year PGWP (assuming all other conditions are met) and some will do 1:1 or in this case 1.5:1.5 😅🤞

[@alanl6627]

@@rrdancel thanks a lot! That clarifies things. So I guess it would best to choose courses that explicitly state the duration as 2 years, in order to get a 3 yrs pgwp with reasonable confidence.

Questions; (1) I have intention of applying for 1 year extended education programme in University of Manitoba next year 2023, is it possible to get PR before my programme end?

I got enrolled into a 4 years Bachelor degree & received visa too. After finishing that program will I get a 4 years pgwp or it will be 3 years?

[@atengmhazel]

Currently researching and watching the video, I just have few clarifications, and please correct me if I'm wrong: 1. We can start applying for PGWP before the Study Permit expires. = Isn't it SP's validity depends on program's length, say 2 years? Two of the requirements for applying will be the TOR & Completion Certificate. So how can we actually start applying while we're yet studying? 2. Working on PGWP Processing = Say we completed the program (2yrs) and we applied for PGWP, while waiting for the response or approval, we can work? Will that be legal and allowed or is there any requirements or something to take note? Thanks a lot in advance! 🌻🥰

I have the same question

[@paolaflores1582]

Hi Rachel! I love your videos,they are being so helpful for me, someone who's willing to study in Canada. Watching the video I had a doubt, if I wanted to study 1 year certificate + 1 year certificate, would I apply to the second certificate as an international student or as someone legally living in Canada? Thank you so much 💓

[@aakashdk3550]

no u can not, since youre only staying there for studies you are still considered as an international student even if youre already in canada. So if u want to do your 2nd 1 year program u just have to extend your study permit once your 1st 1 year program is completed.

Hi Marc, yes I did include one in my application! 😊

[@marclorenzjaniola3571]

@@rrdancel thanks rachel! What did you focus on that letter? Like you only worked for a maximum of 20 hours? How does the government know how many hours you actually worked during your studies? Making a content about detailed process of applying a PGWP will be great since not many videos here on youtube explain them. They focus more on study permit application and PR. Hehe

[@rrdancel]

I mainly focused on telling them about the program I completed. So details like the start date, end date, name of the program, and program length. Then I also included details about my study permit like the expiry date, so they’re informed that I’m submitting a pgwp application while holding a valid status in Canada. 😊👍

[@marclorenzjaniola3571]

@@rrdancel you didn’t include about the working hours you have since it can be checked via your SIN (I presume)? Just the duration of your studies, and not including anything before that (from the Philippines)? 😊😊

[@rrdancel]

They do have a record of how many hours you worked found in your ROE letter (record of employment). That’s a separate record that your employer submits to CRA to track how many hours you worked with them and all that... that’s a document you will need to request from CRA when the time comes so you can use that to supplement any info of your previous work Exp. in Canada... In my PGWP application, I don’t recall having to submit any work related documents. I mainly did that for my EE application. 👍

The first question is 1. Will i be allowed to study part time on a post graduate work permit visa? 2. Do i need to apply for a study visa again as i’m going to be here for at least 3 years?

Hi Rachel... Thanks for such detailed video. I still need some clarity on the below point. The course I'm planning for is a one year program and what if I immediately join another one year program either at same college or another college, will I be eligible for three year valid visa or only two years?

[@rrdancel]

Hi Johnney, The immigration officer has discretion to grant you the length for your PGWP. The guide tells the officer that if the applicant took more than one program, the PGWP should be granted for the length of both those programs combined.

[@krizzanaje9713]

Hi Rachel!!! I really love your contents! They’re extremely informative! Just wanna ask if I took a program for 8 months or less than 2 years, then I only get 1 yr PGWP right? So how am I going to apply for PR? is it okay to apply for PR if I only have a 1 yr work experience in canada? And if my PR got approved, can I continue working in Canada even without the PGWP? I hope I get answers for this. Thanks!

[@krizzanaje9713]

And also you mentioned you only studied in Canada for a year? and u got an ITA and just recently, I’ve seen your video that u’ve already gotten your PR approved. How was that possible? I thought at least 3 years of working experience in canada before we can apply for PR? thanks in advance for answers! 😊

[@rrdancel]

The length of your PGWP depends on the length of your program. Generally, studying 8 months to less than 2 years will get you the same length. And studying 2 years or more will get you a 3-year PGWP. Applying for PR via Express Entry is another uphill battle. It‘s a points-based system that gives you a score based on your profile. And even when you qualify, you need to get invited by IRCC to apply for PR. So I can’t really say if PR is in someone’s horizon bc everyone has a unique background.

[@rrdancel]

I met the min requirements for Express Entry and fortunately got invited for PR due to the circumstances (COVID + good timing of things). Some people take longer to get PR and some get it sooner, but again it’s a mixed bag for everyone 🤗❤️

[@krizzanaje9713]

[@mc.sp1cy393]

Hi Rachel great Video yet again !! I may be slightly late in asking my question ... 1- So as far as I understand, PGWP is for anyone who has studied for 2 years or however long your program is for right ? 2- Are there only a specific set of programs that allow you make you eligible to apply for PGWP ? OR Is it any program that you have completed within and specific period of time. ( A bit of background ) I have been working in the hospitality Industry for the last 5 years, and I wish to migrate to Canada and pursue further education in the same field. ( hospitality management ) 3- I searched online regarding institutes that provide and PGWP, is that the only way to get a PGWP? OR can you complete your diploma and then apply for it somehow somewhere else? As in, is it just a time related thing ? For example.. I have to study for 2 years for my diploma and complete my graduation in my said programme AND THEN I can apply for it? Regardless of the programme I choose to study in ?( hospitality in my case ). Any response would be highly appreciated and If there is a reader among the comments section and you have the answers to my asked questions. Please feel free to answer them . Once again any response is appreciated ;) Gracias

[@rrdancel]

Physically you can live in another province to take online classes. However, there may be issues later on with your PGWP. Please read IRCC's policy with the link provided below. www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/after-graduation/eligibility.html#outside-dl

Hey, can I apply pgwp from outside Canada and can I travel back to Canada while waiting for approval , Although I have valid study permit.

[@mansherkapoor]

Yea you can brother

[@matheusnissanfalls]

I was wondering the same, but I don’t think so, unless you still going to school. If you graduated you can only return when your pgwp is approved

[@rrdancel]

Your study permit will expire soon after you complete your program. So check to make sure that you have legal status before you come back to Canada. If not, then you will have to wait for your PGWP to be approved.

I’m going to study for 1 and a half year program in Montreal, does that mean I’m getting a 18 months of PGWP?

[@rrdancel]

It’s very likely the case as per IRCC’s website: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/post-graduation-work-permit-program/permit.html But let’s hope the IRCC officer is feeling generous on their decision day 😝

[@fjqnaguiat]

Hi RR! You said something about applying for BOWP prior to your PGWP? How is the timing of that since you’re only just about to complete 1 year of full time work and your PGWP is literally about to expire. Does that mean it would be necessary to apply for BOWP?

[@TharushaDeAlwis]

hi what if the school is not providing PGWP yet we can apply for it ?

[@rrdancel]

Unfortunately, you won’t be approved as the program is not eligible.

[@mariamayinde4140]

Since PGWP is an open work permit does that mean you can do any job or is it only restricted to the field in which the person studied in? For instance, if I am a psychology graduate does that mean I can only work in the psychology field. And if I can work in any field does that affect my PR application?

[@rrdancel]

Hi dear, PGWP holders may work for any job and any employer across Canada. It doesn’t necessarily need to be related to your education background. As long as you acquire a skilled job for at least a year, then you may be eligible for Express Entry afterwards. However some PNP programs may require you to work in the same area that you studied. So keeping it aligned may also help you qualify for more PR programs. Hope this answers your question! 🥰

[@danielstan707]

Does it work with a masters degree ?????

[@rrdancel]

Yes it does! As long as it meets the other PGWP eligibility requirements 😊

[@Ramandeepkaur-yn6tm]

Hii..I applied for PGWP few days ago but still I have not received the letter on which it’s mentioned that you can work full time without restriction of hours now..,what should I do now..??

[@avjeetdhaliwal6117]

Any tips for those who are not getting any job that will help in PR😕

[@rrdancel]

They recently extended the PGWP with the new policy. But sad to say, working a skilled job is an important component to apply for PR.

[@avjeetdhaliwal6117]

@@rrdancel Do you mind telling me what kind of jobs one can look for, Especially in this Covid time? And you’re doing an excellent job. Thank you so much

[@tessajoseph8689]

Hi Rachel, very informative videos You are doing a great job I’m doing an 8 months course, so does that mean I’ll get only 8months work permit and have to get a skilled job and apply for Canadian experience class PR to get a stay back within that time period

[@rrdancel]

Hi Tessa, If your 8 month course is PGWP eligible, then you should get a 8 month PGWP. The problem is you would need a minimum of 1 year skilled work experience before applying to the Express Entry. It is unlikely that you will meet the 1 year work requirement. Maybe consider finding another program that is longer. I would recommend at least a 2 year program. Hope that helps. 😊

[@tessajoseph8689]

Thanks Rachel , that’s very helpful So does that mean, I have to change my status to visitor and continue to work in Canada

[@annmonicayap185]

Hi, how to extend my spouse's open work permit after my study permit expires?

[@rrdancel]

Its best to get legal help with your situation.

[@lettygabrendcastillo2413]

Hi, I just want to ask if having an employer is one of the requirements to apply for PGWP?

[@rrdancel]

Hi dear, since a PGWP is a type of open work permit - you don’t need to have an employer to be eligible for one 😊 But it is important to start working while having it so the work counts towards Express Entry (if you have long term goals in Canada) Hope this helps! 🥰

[@smwk2017]

If you apply for Express Entry (EE), You need a job that will give you higher CRS score. In the old system, it is NOC 0, A, B, C, and D. Starting on 16th Nov 2022, it is TEER 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. You need a job in TEER 0, 1, 2, and 3.

[@saimedhashree2518]

Any videos on how to apply for work permit after finishing 2 8 month courses in 2 different colleges???

[@rrdancel]
