Understanding Your PGWP Options
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) is one of the most valuable permits available to international graduates in Canada, but it is also one of the easiest to lose eligibility for. A leave of absence longer than allowed, a switch to part-time studies in your final academic term, a gap in your study permit history, or a period of unauthorized work can all put your PGWP application at risk. If your application has already been refused, or IRCC has flagged non-compliance with your study permit conditions, the options available to you depend heavily on the specific facts of your case.
A PGWP consultation with a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) gives you a clear, honest read on where you stand: whether restoration is available to you, what a realistic timeline looks like, what documentation will strengthen your case, and what happens if you need to pursue an extension or reapply. Rather than guessing based on forum posts or outdated blog articles, you get advice specific to your situation from someone licensed to give it.

PGWP Consultation FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most often from graduates dealing with PGWP issues.
A Post-Graduation Work Permit allows eligible international students to work in Canada after completing a program at a designated learning institution. Eligibility depends on factors including your program length, full-time enrollment status, and how quickly you apply after receiving your final marks.
Working beyond the hours or conditions allowed by your permit, working before your permit is issued, or working for an employer not permitted under your specific authorization can all count as unauthorized work. This can affect both your current status and future applications, so it is worth having a consultant review your specific timeline.
This depends on your current status and the nature of your case, including whether you have implied status or a valid work permit already in place. We will walk through your specific work authorization during your consultation.
The right next step depends on the reason for refusal. In some cases, restoration or a new application may be possible. In others, a different pathway may be more realistic. A consultation will help you understand exactly what happened and what options remain open to you.
It can. IRCC places limits on how much combined leave you can take during your program before it affects your PGWP eligibility. The exact impact depends on the length of your leave and how your school documented it, which is something a consultant can assess with you directly.
Part-time enrollment in your final academic term is treated differently from part-time study earlier in a program, and in many cases is permitted. It still needs to be documented correctly in your PGWP application, so it is worth confirming your specific circumstances before you apply.
Standard PGWPs generally cannot be renewed once they expire, though from time to time IRCC introduces temporary public policy extensions for certain PGWP holders. A consultant can tell you whether any such policy currently applies to your situation and what alternatives exist if it does not.
Processing times vary by case and by IRCC’s current workload, and restoration must generally be requested within 90 days of your status expiring. Your consultant will give you a realistic estimate based on your specific situation during your consultation.
A Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) is licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) and is authorized to give immigration advice and represent clients before IRCC, including for PGWP matters. Most PGWP cases do not require a lawyer.
Consultations start at $99 CAD and run 30 minutes, available online by video. Pricing is shown before you book, and there are no hidden fees.
Useful documents include your study permit history, transcripts or proof of enrollment, any letters received from IRCC, your PGWP application if already submitted, and any correspondence related to a refusal or compliance issue. Your consultant will let you know if anything else would help.
You will receive a confirmation with a short set of questions to help your consultant prepare for your case, along with a reminder ahead of your appointment time.
Every week of delay narrows your options.
