On February 7, 2022, 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, the online study eligibility period for international students has been extended, and students can complete their studies outside Canada by August 31, 2022.
International students who have been enrolled in a PGWP-eligible program between March 2020 and summer 2022 can complete 100% of their program online and still get a PGWP.

In-Canada Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates fear having to leave jobs or even Canada since the Canadian Government stopped inviting applicants under the CEC-specific draws.
Due to the immigration backlogs, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does not issue invitations under the CEC program.
Without an invitation to apply (ITA), candidates cannot apply for permanent residence as Express Entry applicants, which leaves them vulnerable since their work permits expire, and they lose the right to work in Canada or have to find another work permit or permanent residency pathway.
