📢 PGWP UPDATE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS 🇨🇦
IRCC has officially FROZEN the list of eligible fields of study for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) for 2026.
👉🏽 This means no programs will be added or removed this year.
✨ What this means for you:
• If your college diploma or certificate program is currently on the PGWP eligible list,it stays eligible ✔️
• If your program is NOT on the list, it will NOT become eligible in 2026
• Bachelor’s, Master’s & PhD graduates remain PGWP-eligible regardless of field (as long as other conditions are met)
⚠️ Important: Always confirm your CIP code before applying or changing programs, assumptions can cost you your PGWP.

Ask before you apply,not after graduation.
