Canada has made a change to its Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) rules for international students who want to study in Canada beginning this fall. The PGWP enables international students to gain Canadian work experience after completing their educational program at a Canadian designated learning institution (DLI). International students must have completed a full-time program of at least eight months in length at a Canadian DLI to be eligible for the PGWP. Their study program must have lead to a diploma, degree, or certificate. The length of the PGWP depends on the length of the student’s program of study in Canada and up to 3 years.

Normally, online courses do not count toward the study requirement for a PGWP application. However, given coronavirus-related travel interruptions around the world, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is now allowing international students to study online while overseas and still be eligible to apply for a PGWP after graduation.

According to announcement of IRCC on May 14, 2020. New international students will be able to begin their programs at a Canadian DLI online in fall 2020 and complete up to 50 per cent of the program while abroad, and then still be able to obtain the PGWP to work in Canada after graduation. IRCC also noted that international students will not have time deducted from the length of their PGWP for the period they spent outside of Canada, up to December 31, 2020. So, if a new international student can begin their program at Canadian DLI online this coming fall, he/she still be eligible for a PGWP for the maximum three years so long as they arrived to Canada by the end of 2020 and completed a qualifying educational program at a DLI of at least two years in duration.
