Canada Post-Graduate Work Permit [PGWP] will not be affected by Coronavirus COVID-19

We are reaching out with positive news for international students looking to start their educational journey in Canada this year. Earlier today, the Government of Canada announced that the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP) eligibility will not be impacted if a student’s Fall 2020 courses need to be online due to COVID-19.

This announcement aligns with the guidance previously provided to students that are currently studying in Canada and those with a Spring or Summer 2020 start date. In these situations, students studying at a designated learning institution (DLI) will be able to:

  • Start their classes online from a location outside of Canada
  • Complete up to 50% of their program online if they are unable to travel to Canada sooner

Additionally, students will not have time deducted from the length of a future PGWPP for studies completed outside of Canada up to December 31, 2020.

Road to Abroad will continue to update you as we receive more information from colleges and universities about their Fall 2020 intake. Our team is working incredibly hard to continue operations and support you during these times of uncertainty. We are committed to the success of our students, both present and future.
