For international students who have graduated from an approved Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI), the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWP) provides a fantastic opportunity to stay in Canada, work and establish their lives. According to Statistics Canada, approximately 75 percent of PGWP holders acquire permanent residency within five years after they receive the permit. Undoubtedly, gaining work experience through a PGWP immensely benefits future permanent residents, as many permanent residence pathways reward additional points to individuals with Canadian work experience.
