A post-study work visa (PSW) is a great way to stay in Canada after you graduate. With a PSW, you can work in Canada for up to three years, which can help you gain valuable Canadian work experience and make it easier to apply for permanent residency.
How to Apply for a post study work visa in Canada:
- Graduate from a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada
- Obtain a valid study permit.
- Get a job offer from a Canadian employer that is eligible to hire international workers.
- Apply for a post-study work visa online or by mail.
- Pay the application fee.
- Submit your application and supporting documents.
- Wait for a decision from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The processing time for a PSW application can vary, but it is typically between 3 and 6 months. If your application is approved, you will be issued a post-study work visa.
