PGWP-Eligible Programs of Study
What Programs of Study are Eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit?
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have recently made several changes to the International Student Program, including the eligibility requirements for a Post-Graduation Work Permit. The list below provides an overview of the currently approved Diploma programs offered through the University of Regina that meet the new field of study requirement as part of the PGWP eligibility criteria.
At this time, all Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD programs do not need to meet the field of study requirement. It is the student's responsibility to ensure they are aware of and comply with all IRCC policies and regulations. Negligence or non-compliance will result in severe consequences to their immigration status and future immigration opportunities.
