NEW UPDATE ON ELIGIBLE STUDY PROGRAMS FOR PGWP IN CANADA
If you are planning to study abroad and looking for opportunities to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) in Canada, then this is extremely important information that cannot be overlooked.
Since June 25, 2025, the Canadian government has made significant adjustments to the list of eligible fields of study for applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). This change not only expands job opportunities in Canada but also affects the fields of study that students can enroll in to qualify for the PGWP.
Highlights in this update:
- Add 119 new fields of study to the list eligible for PGWP, including:
o In healthcare: Sectors such as nursing and health care.
o Social services: Professions that support the community and social development.
o Giáo dục: Các chương trình đào tạo giáo viên và chuyên gia giáo dục.
o Technical trades: Professions in the fields of construction and manufacturing.
- Remove 178 fields of study that no longer meet the labor market demand of Canada, which may affect students currently enrolled in these fields.
- With a total of 920 qualified fields of study currently, the opportunity to apply for a PGWP is increasingly open, especially for occupations that are experiencing a shortage of labor in Canada.
If you are an international student and have applied for a study permit before June 25, 2025, your eligibility for a PGWP will still be protected, even if your field of study is removed from the list after this date.
If you are looking for job opportunities in Canada after graduation, choose the fields of study that are on the government's priority list to increase your chances of applying for a PGWP.
This is an opportunity for you to start your career in a country with a dynamic and attractive job market like Canada. If you have any questions, message Aimmi right away for assistance.
