List of PGWP Eligible Institutions in Canada

List of PGWP Eligible Institutions in Canada:

 

 

Do you want to study in a PGWP-eligible institute in Canada? Then this blog post is all you need because, in this blog post, you’ll find a list of PGWP-eligible DLIs in Canada.

Canada is undoubtedly one of the most popular study abroad destinations in the world. The country welcomed nearly half a million new international students just last year.

 

 

A lot of international students choose Canada as their study location because of the job opportunities available to Canadians and international students alike.

 

However, in order to work in Canada, you’ll have to pass through the Canadian Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) program.

PGWP is an open work permit that allows students who have graduated from Canadian DLIs (ie., Designated Learning Institutions) to gain valuable work experience in the country. But what most international students don’t know is, that not all DLIs and programs of study make them eligible for the PGWP program.

As a result, some international students may have to change their university or programs which often costs them more in the long run and others might have no option but to their respective home countries after they must have completed their degree missing out on some Canadian work experience.

 

Are all DLI eligible for PGWP?

 

 

PGWP is short for Post Graduate Work Permit. This open work permit allows international students who have graduated from eligible Canadian Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) to acquire valuable work experience in Canada.

So are all DLIs eligible for the PGWP programs? The answer is no. While you can be eligible for the PGWP program when you enroll into a Canadian DLI, note that not all DLIs and not all programs are eligible for the PGWP.

Before we look at the list of PGWP-eligible DLIs in Canada let’s first discuss the eligibility for the Canadian PGWP.
