International students will be able to complete entire studies online, from abroad, and still get work permits in Canada.
The new policy applies to international students who have been enrolled in an education program which is eligible for a post graduate work permit (PGWP). Students will be eligible if their study program began in any intake between Spring 2020 and Fall 2021. Also applicable are students who began their study program in March 2020 at the time Canada implemented a lockdown.
