On August 4, 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) released the new program delivery update for the issuance and eligibility for Post-Graduate Work Permits (PGWP) to international students. The length of the PGWPs is determined based on the duration of the academic program. IRCC recalled that officers will include regularly scheduled breaks in the time accumulated toward the length of the PGWP. At the same time, If the study was completed faster than the regular duration of the program, the officer may issue PGWP based on the actual length of the study. As for Quebec students, vocational programs, vocational programs with a diploma of vocational studies (DVS) must be at least 900 hours in length to be eligible for PGWP.
