George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.

The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows students who have graduated from eligible Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) to gain valuable Canadian work experience.
Graduating from a DLI doesn’t automatically make you eligible for a PGWP. Check the DLI list to find out which schools have eligible programs. You can also check Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for their list of eligible programs.
As of November 1, 2024, the eligibility requirements for a PGWP have changed. Most PGWP applicants now need to give proof of language results when they apply.
If you submitted your PGWP application before November 1, 2024, or are a flight school graduate, you’re exempt from the new requirements.
