PGWP Eligibility Call (855) 301-3151Call

Yes. Some programs at Justice Institute of British Columbia can get you a post-graduation work permit. Whether yours does comes down to what you'll graduate with and, for a diploma or certificate, your field.

When a program lasts 2 years or more, "Up to 3 years" means a 3-year permit; a program of 8 months to under 2 years gets a permit as long as the program. You only face the field rule if your study permit application went in on or after 1 November 2024. A school with eligible programs can still have some that don't qualify, so check whether your field is on the list and how many years you could get.
