Citizenship and Immigration Canada's novel Post-Graduation Employment visa provides eligible foreign students graduating from a participating post-secondary Canadian institution with the thrilling opportunity to gain Canadian work experience related to their field of studies.
Once granted, work permit holders can gain Canadian experience and put their recently gained knowledge to use in the Canadian labour market. They may also be eligible for the new Canadian Experience program for permanent residence. A work permit under the Post-Graduation Work visa is granted for the duration equating up to the length of a student's study program.
