Starting November 1, 2024, Canada will change the rules
for Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP). Graduates from public colleges can
only get a PGWP if their studies are in fields with a long-term need for
workers. The five main areas are healthcare, STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and math), trades, transportation, and agriculture. Students
should choose their study programs carefully, as only those linked to these
areas will qualify for a PGWP. If you applied for a study permit before
November 1, the old rules will still apply.
