Visa for Spouse
- are a full-time student at a:

- Canadian private school that can legally award degrees under provincial law (for example, Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate degree) and
- have a valid study permit.
How long is the open work permit valid for? The work permit for your spouse or common-law partner is valid for the same period of time as your study permit.
Post-Study Work Visa
You may be eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) if you graduated from a designated learning institution (DLI) and want to stay in Canada temporarily to work. Not all DLIs make you eligible for a post-graduation work permit. How long your PGWP is valid for depends on the length of your study program. If your program was:
- less than 8 months – you aren’t eligible for a PGWP
- more than 8 months but less than 2 years – your PGWP may be valid for up to the same length as your study program (for example, if you completed a 9-month program, a work permit may be issued for up to 9 months)
- 2 years or more – a PGWP may be issued for 3 years
If you completed more than one program, you may be able to get a PGWP that combines the length of each program. For this, each of the programs you completed must be:
- PGWP-eligible and
- at least 8 months in length.
You can’t get a PGWP if you already had one after completing an earlier program of study.
