Applying for your PGWP soon? Important update for international students π
If you applied for your study permit BEFORE November 1, 2024, you do NOT need to meet the new field of study requirement for PGWP eligibility. β
A lot of students are confused and unnecessarily worried about their program not being on the approved field of study list.
However, this exemption applies to:
β’ Students who applied for their study permit before Nov 1, 2024
β’ Students graduating from bachelorβs, masterβs or doctorate programs
β’ Flight school graduates
Language requirements may still apply depending on your situation.
Always check your eligibility carefully before applying. π¨π¦
