Planning your PGWP is more than just a work permit—it’s the first crucial step toward your PR in Canada. The best time to start is before you even apply, ideally in your last semester, so we have enough time to map out your pathway. With today’s ever-changing immigration programs and strict caps across many streams, early planning is not optional—it’s essential.

Before You Apply for PGWP
The best time to plan your PGWP is in your last semester — not after graduation.

After you Apply for PGWP
Once you’ve applied, you can legally start working in Canada — even before the permit is issued. With processing often taking 4+ months, this time is crucial to:
- Build Canadian work experience and earn CRS points.
- Explore foreign experience (case-specific) if it strengthens your profile.
- Choose the right province strategically for future PR pathways.
- Stay updated with changing norms, PNP streams, and pilot programs.
🎯 These months are not just waiting time — they’re your chance to actively shape your PR pathway.
