PGWP Eligible Programs

Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Eligible Programs

PGWP Eligible Programs for Applicants and Students who Submitted a Study Permit Application or Study Permit Extension Application As of November 1st, 2024

Based on the current guidelines from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and Algonquin College’s review of the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) definitions used to identify PGWP Eligible Fields of Study, below is the list of our programs that we believe meet the IRCC field of study requirements for PGWP eligibility as of November 1st 2024. PGWP eligibility is not based on program quality or regional labour market demands but on national long-term labour market needs identified by IRCC. Please note that this list may be subject to change in the future.

Canadian immigration policies and laws are subject to change and may impact this list of programs. Please consult the IRCC website for the most current information.

Check out our full suite of programs for international students. Although some do not qualify for Post Graduation Work Permits, they all provide essential skills to help you excel in the career of your choice.

Please note that, at this time, not all PGWP-eligible programs have open intakes for international students. For seat availability within specific programs and intakes, please consult our Program Availability for International Students page.
