How Long is a Post Graduate Work Permit Valid?

Permit’s validity period depends on the length of academic program completed by the applicant

[{"selector":"#anim-7680fbd1-23e5-4bda-a20f-75f0f48cd06d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1bb76bba-5625-4e29-ba17-09924bc9f93a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b65db500-1686-4279-bbed-11c11352d455","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.06803%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Completed program must be 8 months long to be eligible for a PGWP

[{"selector":"#anim-f6b68269-b345-4093-97c2-5a4fb829fc3d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12840917-ef78-4920-9073-ee212f6a86c2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a4fb651-93a0-43f0-bc43-f667a59b6c2d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.09091%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

For programs of 8 months to 2 years, PGWP will be valid for same length as their program

[{"selector":"#anim-eebf1775-a8ab-4992-8fef-5120e7c35017 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(12.721279444945148%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-302c62ef-e90c-4745-b452-e9834ab423c1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-efb466b0-1ab3-43fb-8d86-10879dea8767","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-135.5372%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

For programs of 2 years or more, PGWP will be valid for 3 years

[{"selector":"#anim-e3677b8b-9201-48c9-ac7b-6cbcd4d00847 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-13.75000018433802%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-38ab6307-34e3-4226-aef9-f6e7e486e750","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7ad820f2-d5e0-46bf-b79c-6474e0a74d08","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-137.71186%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If international students complete more than 1 eligible program at a DLI have an advantage

[{"selector":"#anim-168b5259-e2e8-43e3-9ca4-6fcf89e22bce [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-07339357-7f6a-4714-9a03-4a4dfd541f2a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e96ce414-a4cb-46ed-9f4a-f84aa198ea3e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.64102%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They can combine their program lengths to extend the validity of their resulting PGWP

[{"selector":"#anim-4ca2976b-58e4-43b1-a024-4930dd019b35 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-228c5cfc-9d29-447b-8b52-18160090cc9d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a595e9c7-73dd-48de-a26b-efbad716de8d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.52777%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In this case, each program still needs to be 8 months long

[{"selector":"#anim-5dd20a23-b4f0-412d-ba6b-21d3227b56cf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9c41333-3f22-4eba-ae32-d32ce4bcddec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-33bcba4b-1f76-4c80-a5bc-7619c0f70ea7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.09091%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
