Work Permit regulations revised for Postgraduate Students in Canada
Effective November 1, 2024, Canada will introduce revised regulations for the post-graduation work permit (PGWP) program. These changes aim to streamline the application process and ensure that international students meet specific language requirements.
One of the key modifications is the introduction of a mandatory language proficiency requirement. Applicants will now be required to provide proof of their language skills, measured using the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) for English and Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadien (NCLC) for French.
To demonstrate language proficiency, candidates can submit test results from recognized language exams such as CELPIP, IELTS, PTE Core, TEF Canada, and TCF Canada. The accepted language tests vary depending on whether the applicant's primary language is English or French.
In addition to these changes, applicants must continue to meet the general eligibility requirements for the PGWP, including completing a study program at a designated learning institution. This ensures that only qualified candidates can benefit from the program and contribute to Canada's economy.
