The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows eligible graduates to gain Canadian work experience. Spouses of international students or workers may qualify for an Open Work Permit (SOWP). Employer-Specific Work Permits require a valid job offer and, in most cases, an LMIA. Each permit type has different eligibility criteria, document requirements, and application streams. Understanding timelines, conditions, and compliance is essential for maintaining legal status in Canada.
