Minister Sean Fraser to Extend Work Permit for PGWP Holders

International students, who graduated from a Canadian designated learning institution (DLI), apply for post graduate work permits. A DLI is a college, university, or an educational institution which is government approved and it welcomes foreign students. PGWPs basically let international students work for a Canadian employer for around three years. However, the length of the educational program actually depends on the time of the educational program which the foreign graduate has to complete. Most of the students, international of course, choose this work permit as it lets them work and study at the same time. Moreover, this program rewards candidates who have been studying along with working in Canada. Do you know why this happens? This is because the Canadian labor market values anyone who can contribute to it. This means that Canada’s labor market is in need of more workers to support the work force. PGWPs are great for you if you are looking to gain work experience while studying in Canada. Furthermore, you can also work on your language skills and make them better for the future. In addition, you can develop social networks which will be of immense help in your career.
