移民小贴士 IMMIGRATION TIP

并非所有加拿大的学习项目都符合获批毕业后工作许可的资格。在选择课程项目前,请务必验证其是否能够获批毕业后工签。

Not all programs of study in Canada are eligible for a post-graduation work permit. Be sure to verify PGWP eligibility before selecting a program.

与大多数加拿大工作许可不同,毕业后工作许可无需提供劳动力市场影响评估。通过累积加拿大工作经验,符合条件的国际毕业生能够累积宝贵的加拿大工作经验。随着加拿大工作经验的累积,移民候选人可以随时关注他们是否符合以下移民项目的申请资格:

Unlike most Canadian work permits, the PGWP does not require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). PGWPs enable eligible graduates to gain valuable Canadian work experience. With enough work experience in Canada, many foreign nationals become eligible for Canada’s permanent residency programs, including one of the following pathways:

毕业后工签要点一览 PGWP quick facts

根据所选择的学习项目的不同,国际毕业生获批的毕业后工签有效期时长从8个月至3年不等。毕业后工签的有效期时长,不会超过申请人在加拿大的学习时长。一般而言,毕业后工签的有效期时长与申请人的学习时间大致相同。在学习项目中,只要有超过50%的课程是通过面授完成的,申请人既有资格获取与学习项目持续时长相等的毕业后工签。如果是兼职学习或参加速成课程,工签时长将与全日制学习课程时长相等。

A post-graduation work permit can be valid for any length of time between eight months and three years. A PGWP will not be issued for a duration longer than the applicant’s duration of study in Canada. Generally, the PGWP will be approximately the same duration as the applicant’s period of study, up to a maximum of three years. As long as more than 50% of your program of study is conducted via in-person classes, you are eligible for a PGWP equal to the duration of your program of study. If you studied part-time, or did accelerated studies, the length of your PGWP will be the length of your program of study, if taken full-time.

谁有资格获批毕业后工签 Who is eligible for a PGWP?

年满18周岁、在加拿大指定院校(DLI)完成下列课程类型之一至少8个月的全日制课程的外国公民,有资格在学业完成后的180天内提交毕业后工作许可的申请。如果申请人在加拿大境内递交申请,递交时申请人必须拥有有效身份。如果申请人的学习许可已经到期或即将到期,申请人可以在递交毕业后工签前申请访问者身份。在学习许可到期前递交毕业后工签申请的申请人,有资格在申请审理期间立刻开始全职工作。申请人也可以从加拿大境外递交毕业后工签申请。

In order to be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), a foreign national must be at least 18 years old and have studied full-time in Canada in a program of at least 8 months. The study program must have been completed at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in one of the following types of programs listed below. As well, in order to apply for the work permit, a foreign national must apply within 180 days of the completion of their study program.

If an applicant is applying from within Canada, they must have valid status at the time of application. If their study permit has expired or will expire, they may apply for status as a visitor before applying for the PGWP. However, applicants who apply for a PGWP prior to the expiration of their study permit are eligible to begin working full time immediately, while their application is processing. Applicants may apply for a PGWP from overseas.

毕业工签申请截止时间?What is the PGWP’s Application Deadline?

毕业工签申请截止日期,是从获得最后一门课成绩单及指定院校官方毕业信之日起的180天(六个月)内。如果学习许可在最后一门课出分前即已到期,申请人有两个选择:

  • 申请访问记录或身份恢复,在加拿大境内递交毕业工签申请;或
  • 离开加拿大并在境外申请毕业工签

毕业工签申请递交时,申请人必须证明持有有效学签、曾持有学签,或根据《移民和难民保护条例》第188(1)(a)和(b)段的规定,在无需获得学签的情况可以在加拿大就学。

The deadline to apply for the Post-Graduation Work Permit is within 180 days (six months) of obtaining a transcript and an official letter from the eligible DLI confirming that the requirements to complete the program of study have been met. If the study permit is set to expire before the marks have come in, candidates have two options:

  • apply for a visitor record or restoration to stay in Canada longer; or
  • leave Canada and apply for the PGWP

When applying, applicants must demonstrate that they either hold a valid study permit, held a study permit, or were authorized to study in Canada without the requirement to obtain a study permit under paragraphs 188(1)(a) and (b) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.

符合条件的学历等级 Eligible levels of study

  • 魁北克省私立中学或中学后院校提供的900小时或更长时间合规课程,获颁职业教育毕业证(DEP)或专业化职业证书(ASP);或

毕业后工签审批周期 How long does it take to get a PGWP?

申请人在学签有效期内递交毕业后工签,工签处理期间可以在加拿大境内合法工作。一般而言,毕业后工作许可的审理需要80至180天。申请人必须在完成学业后的180天时间内递交毕业后工签申请。如果在完成学业后离境,申请人可以从加拿大境外递交毕业后工签申请。根据处理申请的海外签证中心不同,申请人可能会被要求提供额外材料文件。

A PGWP can take anywhere from 80 to 180 days to process. While waiting for your PGWP, you are free to work in Canada provided you applied prior to the expiry date of your student permit. You have 180 days to apply for your PGWP from the date you completed all the requirements of your program of study.

If you leave Canada after your studies have been completed, you can now apply for a PGWP from overseas. Previously post-graduation work permit applications needed to be submitted exclusively from within Canada. If a PGWP application is submitted from outside of Canada, additional documentation may be requested depending on the visa office that will process the application.

毕业后工签到期后能否申请其他工签 Can I apply for a work permit after my PGWP?

获批毕业后工作许可的申请人如果符合条件,可以在许可到期后自由申请新的工作许可,例如:劳动力市场影响评估工作许可或豁免劳动力市场影响评估工作许可。累积足够多加拿大本地工作经验的申请人,也可以考虑通过以下渠道申请加拿大永久居留权:

毕业后递交毕业后工签前是否可以合法工作 Can I work after graduation before I apply for my PGWP?

学习许可到期前递交毕业后工作许可申请的国际毕业生,在申请处理期间无需持有有效工作许可,即可在加拿大境内合法工作。如果申请人的学习许可已经到期,可以在失去有效身份90天内进行身份恢复,之后再递交毕业后工作许可申请。

International graduates who apply for a PGWP before the expiry of their study permit are able to begin legally working in Canada. These candidates do not need to hold a Canadian work permit while they await a decision on their application for a PGWP. If your student permit has expired, you may be eligible to restore your status and apply, provided you have only been out of status for less than 90 days.

可以申请几次毕业后工签 How many times can I apply for a PGWP?

每个申请人一生只有一次机会获批毕业后工作许可。如果在完成第一个学习项目后希望继续学习,或计划取得一个耗时更久的加拿大学历,申请人需要策略性的考虑何时递交毕业后工作许可。在历时最长的学习项目结束后递交申请比较明智,可以获批有效期最长可达三年的毕业后工签。

You can only apply for a PGWP once. If you are planning on taking another program of study that is a continuation of your first program, or you are considering taking a longer degree program in Canada, you might want to apply for your PGWP strategically. Applying after the longest period of study will grant you a PGWP with longer validity, to a maximum of three years.
