Canada has recently reported three significant measures to help people who wish to pursue Canadian education and work opportunities.

In a news release just gave on its site, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has presented the accompanying three new measures on Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility for international students pursuing their Canadian education online due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Students can now study online while overseas up until April 30, 2021, with no time deducted from the length of their PGWP, so long as they complete 50 per cent of their studies in Canada.
Students who have signed up for a program that is 8-12 months in duration with a start date from May to September 2020 will be able to complete their entire program abroad and still be eligible for a PGWP.
Students who enrolled in a program with a start date between May and September 2020 and study online up to April 30, 2021 and who graduate from more than one eligible program may be able to combine the length of their programs of study when they apply for a PGWP, as long as 50 per cent of the studies are completed in Canada.

The PGWP allows international students to work for any Canadian employers. Former students planning to become Canadian permanent residents try to outfit the work experience they increase to upgrade their Canadian immigration possibilities.

The Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP) allows students who have graduated from eligible Canadian designated learning institutions (DLIs) to obtain an open work permit to gain valuable Canadian work experience. Skilled Canadian work experience in National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill type 0 or skill level A or B that is gained through the PGWPP helps graduates qualify for permanent residence in Canada through the Canadian experience class within Express Entry
