On July 28, 2021, the Government of Canada updated instructions for students graduating outside of Canada for application for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP). According to the new instructions, students who graduate outside of Canada are not required to hold or have held a valid study permit within 180 days of applying for the post-graduation work permit. The only time that international students spent studying online after their study permit application was received will count toward the length of their post-graduation work permit. #International_students, #PGWP, #PGWPP, #study_permit, #work_permit https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/updates/2021-covid-pgwpp-students-graduating.html
