IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has recently announced changes to post-graduation work permit (PGWP) eligibility.
Based on the new eligibility requirements, these Selkirk College programs may be eligible for the PGWP as the CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) aligns with IRCC's current CIP approved list. If the program is 2 years, you may receive a PGWP that's valid for 3 years. If the program is at least 8 months, but less than 2 years, you may receive a PGWP that's valid for up to the same length as your study program. For example, if you completed a 9-month program, you may receive a work permit for up to 9 months.
