Canada Work Authorization Process: Canada is a popular study abroad destination, attracting millions of Indian students. But have you ever wondered why Indian students are so eager to study in Canada? The answer lies in a policy that allows foreign students to work after completing their degree. After completing their degree, any student in Canada can stay in the country and work for any company, giving them work experience.
This is possible through a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Students must apply for a PGWP within six months of completing their course. Applying after this time will not grant them a work permit. The problem is that even after applying, it can take several months to receive a PGWP. This is why many students wonder whether they can stay and work in Canada until they receive a work permit, or if they must leave the country. Let’s find out the answer.
What can you do if you don’t receive a PGWP?
According to Canada’s immigration regulations, all foreign students who have completed their course and applied for a PGWP are allowed to work in Canada. Upon applying for a PGWP, the student receives an Interim Worth Authorization Letter (IMM 0127 E), which authorizes them to work in Canada. This way, even if they haven’t received a PGWP, they can stay in the country and work comfortably. There’s no need to leave the country.
Typically, the validity of an Interim Worth Authorization Letter is 180 days. However, the processing time for a work permit in Canada is 227 days, which means that many students’ Interim Worth Authorization Letters will expire and they won’t even receive a PGWP by then. The good news is that IRCC has already stated that students who have applied for a PGWP and met all the requirements will be allowed to work, even if their 180-day validity period expires.
