As an international student, to work in Canada after you graduate, you need a work
permit.
Graduates of Saskatchewan Polytechnic may be eligible for a post-graduation work permit
(PGWP) to stay in Canada temporarily to work.
On November 1, 2024, significant changes were made that affect new applicants to the PGWP Program. Not all programs of study make you eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program. The eligibility information below has not been confirmed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
This information on this page may be updated frequently.
Most recent update: January 14, 2025
Eligible programs
The programs listed below may meet the current eligibility criteria for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program. Enrolment in a program at Sask Polytech that is PGWP-eligible does not guarantee PGWP approval by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they meet all eligibility requirements as outlined by IRCC.
