About Work Permits
Foreigners that want to work in Canada must hold an work permit from the government. Our company has many years of experience in working with various sophisticated cases. We are specialized in temporary work permit for foreign workers and post-graduate work permit.
International students only have one chance to apply for their work permit. Those who are willing to stay in Canada after graduation needs to take it very seriously!
Post-graduation Work Permit
A Post-Graduation Work Permit cannot be valid longer than the length of your studies in Canada.
If the official length of your program of study is:
- less than eight months
- you are not eligible for this program
- less than two years but more than eight months
- you may get a work permit for a period no longer than the length of your program of study (for example, if you studied for nine months, a work permit may be issued for a period of nine months)
- two years or more
- a work permit may be issued for three years
Once an international student has applied for the work permit, he will have the implied status which allows him to work even if his application is still pending review.
